Description

Truth be told, simple death is very low on the scale of terror when it comes to war. Especially when on the precipice of World War IIII - the third one did a spectacular job of fucking up life for everyone thirty years ago. This becomes even more apparent when a spanning Empire’s leader is a megalomaniac with a chip on his shoulder. In the year 2049, Germany has become the seat of power for the majority of an ostensibly irreparable Europe. The land is in turmoil with inner disputes, rebel forces, and the ever growing threat of marauders hijacking the import and export of produce, causing even more strain on the relationships with other countries. This, however, does not deter General Herman Schröder from pushing his thinning resources to breaking point in order to obtain absolute power, even over the Soviet, which is a volatile gamble at the very least.

The bane of General Schröder’s existence, Petra Adler, is a soldier from a long military lineage: The Military Princess, dubbed by her peers, seniors, and countrymen. When she discovers that her country’s leader is not as loyal and serving as he preaches, she intends to do something about it. Regardless of the cost, she vows to fix the issue, but that is easier said than done as the 'Kaiser' is putting equal effort into squashing her.

Adler herself is faced with many problems aside from dealing with her country's well-being and the reality of the Empire’s most influential man after her head, and the fact her reputation is a little less than profession. Alongside her career controversies, she has to juggle the deep personal issues she thought she had buried a long time ago. Not one for making friends for the simple sake of it, the young woman is forced to put her stubbornness, short temper and trauma aside in order to collect a rag-tag bunch of allies from differnet walks of life in order to save her homeland when the balance is at a dangerous tipping point.

Foreword

Petra Adler
Diamond Eyes – Shinedown
"Who’s good, who’s evil – What’s justice, and what’s crime...It's subjective. It’s all a matter of who’s standing at the top. The winner is good, and the loser is bad: The good a justified 'God', the bad a mere tool that God uses to keep himself in such a comfortable position. While I’m a peg he’s counting on, I’ll do my very best to step out of line and topple the gallows he’s trying to balance on.”



Marko Amsel
Fuck You – Placebo
“I’ve spent more of my life serving this country than not; I’ve blustered through Europe and had stints in every continent. I’m a highly decorated Officer and yet, I’m stuck in charge of 72. I’ve given my life to this country - everything I owned, and everything I’m entitled to. I was promised an early paid retirement until you decided to shove your nose where it didn’t belong!”



Sascha Habich
Pet – A Perfect Circle
"I won't ever let what has happened go. Even if I have to travel the road of being a traitor to our Reich, I can't continue to kill innocent people for no reason. Not to save myself, not to save our countrymen. The only thing to make me falter is that look on your face…but even then…I know better than to think you’re planning on giving up."



Ignacy Zajc
Na Na Na – My Chemical Romance
"I never thought I'd get out of there. I thought I was going to spend my last days being the chew-toy of meglomaniacs and second-rate soldiers. You saved me, and now my life is in your hands whether either of us like it or not."



Heinrich Meier
Magic - B.O.B ft Rivers Cuomo
"Pretty women, booze, and guns: alternate the order daily and that will be my life from now on. What do you mean we have to sleep in dirt and run miles every day?"



Angélique Gautier
A Million Ways - Ok Go
"Well, isn't this cosy; two dozen to a room and being surrounded by ranks made of misfits. What do they call this place again, Reject Bootcamp? No, you’re right, it’s much worse."



Ryker Valk
27 - Fall Out Boy
"The best part of war is that the local civi women love a man in uniform and hot damn, I do mine a favour. Thankfully for you, I'm not just a pretty face."



Sabine Eisenberg
The Aftermath – Escape the Fate
"People call us the outcasts because we do the work others are scared to have pinned to their name. But looking at our track records, we're the best shot they've got. I believe we can actually do something that will make a difference. I honestly do - I have to believe that."



Kazuki Date
No Way Out - Kevin Rudolf
"I’m glad to see you’re not completely inhumane, Commander.”



Luca Casazza
Fat Lip - Sum41
“Before I enrolled, I worked idiocy-inducing hours, I got paid close to nothing and I was sure my boss was the Devil incarnate. Now, despite living how we do, I still enjoy my life more. I mean, fucking with Dutch is half of my job and it's one of the most rewarding things I've ever got to do."



Cormac McLoughlin
I’m A Dog - D. Brown
“If I knew we had tits like this in the army, I wouldn’t have spent so much time and money in ‘The Red’. Stand on me, Mammy.”



Tobias Wolf
Tendencies – Hollywood Undead
“Don’t use those eyes on me, I already know all of your tricks. No matter what we went through in the past, it’s different now. The war is coming to us now. We’re adults and have to abide by the responsibilities we made for ourselves. I have to make good on the promises I made while you were safe, playing in the ivory tower, back when the Brass was still kissing your ass because of your name.”



Eren Kron
Like Home - Eminem ft Alicia Keys
“We’re here to do a job, and I’ve always done just that. However, times have changed and I now have a friend for the first time in my life - whether he likes to admit it or not. I think he’d want me to stop him from razing a town to the ground just because he’s feeling a little jilted.”



Ophelia Garin
You Better Fucking Run - Forever Dead!
“I’ve been doing this a long time. You put me in your personal squad for a reason. Rest assured that when the sun rises, the last of your problems will be dealt with.”



Herman Schröder
Don’t Stop Me Now – Queen
"What will be, will try to be in any other time. This is my Empire and I'll die before I see that little bitch step out of line again."



Deiderich Kistler
Diary of Jane - Breaking Benjamin
“Don’t make out like you know anything about me. You don’t know what it’s like to have something and lose it, and be the only one who could possibly restore what’s been lost. You lived in the gutter, and now you’re going to die in it, too.”

Frederick Kunze
All Along The Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix
“I once had no money - nobody had money back then - and I chose glory and achievement over family duties, so we’re not so far removed. However, I had a handle on the friends I knew would inevitably betray me. Can you say the same? If you want to push your luck, I’m not old enough to pass up the opportunity to test just how much you’ve improved. Nor am I about to give in and keel over because of my age. Do you think you can take on this old man?”
