Annotation

The story is set in Croydon in South London after the Eurowars and the protagonists are all survivors, mostly from the military, dealing with injuries, PSTD, poor housing, and, for many, no purpose in life. The expanded European Union, known as Neo Euro, which includes a United Ireland, states that have broken away from Europe, and a dysfunctional United Kingdom, establishes radical new policies to deal with housing, the homeless, and health care, but the U.K. fails to introduce any of the reforms, and the story is set in a Croydon in South London, where people have taken things into their own hands. In this setting, some of the veterans are deciding whether or not to rejoin the United Nations military with the aim of suppressing the government of Myanmar, which is still killing its citizens. The story is riddled with typos.
