A War Without Casualties The Republic of San Magnolia has long been under attack from the neighboring Giadian Empire's army of unmanned drones known as the Legion. After years of painstaking research, the Republic finally developed autonomous drones of their own, turning the one-sided struggle into a war without casualties-or at least, that's what the government claims. In truth, there is no such thing as a bloodless war. Beyond the fortified walls protecting the eighty-five Republic territories lies the "nonexistent" Eighty-Sixth Sector. The young men and women of this forsaken land are branded the Eighty-Six and, stripped of their humanity, pilot the "unmanned" weapons into battle...

Ratings and reviews

Fantastic. I did need some time to acclimate to the style of two narrators switching between the perspectives as it will feel different than a normal reading or how anime would be voiced. But treating the switching as two books blended together makes it easier to deal with. The narration itself was excellent and I think the story was treated with great care and respect.

Great listen looking forward to the next volume
