In the aftermath of humanity’s collapse, war hasn't ended, It’s just evolved. The badgers of the Meles Meles Nation were never meant to be soldiers. But when the world fell and nature was reshaped by conflict and toxic ruin, they adapted. Now, they fight. Major is a seasoned troop leader, shaped by loss and hardened by years on the front lines. From the first days of training to dangerous missions, he’s risen through the ranks by grit, instinct, and unwavering loyalty to his regiment. But as the Northern border grows unstable and human forces begin to resurface, Major must lead his soldiers into a fight they may not survive. With brutal realism and a soldier’s perspective, Major delivers a unique vision of military science fiction, where honour is earned, survival is never guaranteed, and the next battle is always just over the ridge. For readers who grew up on Watership Down and now crave the grit of Black Hawk Down, this is the start of something fierce.
