The Automata Wars: The Front Line

Deadly automata infiltrated the city in The Home Front... what horrors await the soldiers on The Front Line?

New recruit Private Reynolds had never thought that war would be a pleasant experience - but neither did he realise the true extent of the terror he would face in the rain-drenched trenches. The monstrous enemy killing machines seem unstoppable; and a deadly, mystery sickness is spreading among the beleaguered troops. Meanwhile, there are rumours of dark things lurking in the surrounding swamps, where a second enemy may be waiting to pounce. Even the usually dependable modified Beasts grow less trustworthy.

There is confusion in the military. What business do the nurses of the First Aid Nursing Yeomanty have dictating policy? Who is really in charge? And what are the ladies of ill-repute, under the tutelage of the sinister Madame Jewel, brothel owner and spymistress, doing at the fighting fornt?

For Reynolds, at least, there are some distractions. Amethyst, the beautiful - if strangely composed - nurse who shipped over to the lines at the same time as he, for one. And his commanding officer, the admirable Lieutenant Greyson, a man prepared to stand up for his men against all odds.

As the lines between friend and enemy become more confused in his head, Reynolds must decide whether to follow orders like a good soldier, or to think for himself. His choice may change the face of the war... one way or another.
