First day. New FOB. A simple task.
Private Daniel Scott is told he cannot mess it up. Relieve the listening post. Watch. Report. Answer when command calls him Charlie-256.
They give him more than a rifle. A helmet that sees behind him. An AI in his ear named ALICE. Two drones the size of coins. She asks his favorite color. She asks about his mother. She keeps him on a blue line across empty ground.
Then the line is wrong. The ground drops. The comms die. Something moves that his eyes will not hold.
The private he was sent to relieve is still talking. Scott follows the gold marker because that is what he was told to do.
Charlie 256 is a war story about a first mission that was never meant to be survived — and a voice that already knows how it ends.
Contains wartime violence and death.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. His first assignment should have been impossible to fail. Someone already did.Private Daniel Scott has barely unpacked when he receives his operational designation: Charlie-256. His orders are simple-relieve the soldier occupying a remote observation post, monitor the enemy sector, and report anything that could become a viable target.With an advanced sensor system watching in every direction and an artificial intelligence named ALICE guiding him, Scott appears to have every technological advantage a soldier could need.Then he discovers what happened to Charlie-255.Stranded, injured, and surrounded by an enemy he cannot see, Scott begins questioning the intelligence feeding him information-and the command structure receiving it. As the true purpose of his mission comes into focus, he must decide whether following orders makes him a good soldier or merely the next expendable component in a war machine that never stops.Charlie-256 is a tense military science-fiction novelette about artificial intelligence, automated warfare, moral injury, and the deadly distance between seeing a target and understanding it.
