city of the post-war, early 22nd century Federation of America,
Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. She has been raised

rebellion against her commander to prevent a cohort of military
hawks from turning a peaceful ceremony into a bloodbath, with
repercussions that can only herald another war. For Kat, failure is
not an option.
