Tiny Metal

When the transport carrying King Luja Lindberg of Artemisia explodes under mysterious circumstances, the nation assumes the worst and deploys immediately against neighboring Zipang. Lieutenant Nathan Gries, who trained under the king and considered him a father figure, leads a small strike force coordinated with the White Fangs—a mercenary company commanded by the notoriously cold and calculating Wolfram. As their advance pushes deeper into Zipang, Lord Commander Tsukumo watches with a patience born of long experience, knowing that in a conflict where nothing is what it first appears, impatience is a weapon the enemy can use.
