A brand new novella from the author of the acclaimed Powder Mage series. Teado is a Changer, a shape-shifting military asset trained to win wars. His platoon has been stationed in the Bavares high plains for years, stranded. As they ration supplies and scan the airwaves for news, any news, their numbers dwindle. He's not sure how much time they have left. Desperate and starving, armed with aging, faulting equipment, the team jumps at the chance for a risky resupply mission, even if it means not all of them might come. What they discover could change the course of the war.

I loved the idea, but the story felt too short, and like it didn't have a proper ending. Still, I'll read more books by this author because his novels seem more interesting.
A truly great short story
Man, I truly lost track of time reading this. Why oh why did it end just when I was about to settle in for the rest of it? I was about to give up sleeping before work just to finish this book when the ending came upon me so unexpectedly.
This short story is quite simply great. I hope it's a prelude to more stories in this world. Brian, you've done it again. Thank you.
