Bridge of Worlds

They were training for a war in their world. They fell into one in another.

For five ROTC cadets, a routine land navigation exercise becomes a nightmare when they are thrust through a shimmering tear in reality. They emerge into a world eerily stuck in a 1920s-esque era, but one locked in a brutal, grinding war.

Lost and desperate, they are caught in the collapse of the Veridian Commonwealth, a prosperous nation besieged by jealous, expansionist neighbors. With little more than their wits and nascent military training, they make a desperate stand at a critical river crossing, saving countless lives and marking themselves as both heroes and curiosities.

But this is not their war. All they want is to find a way home. Yet as they are drawn deeper into the conflict, they realize their modern knowledge of warfare is a weapon the Veridians desperately need. They introduce tactics that are decades ahead of their time, forging a legendary unit known as the Kaln Brigade.

Yet every victory has a cost. In a war fought with bolt-action rifles and biplanes, the line between hero and monster is thin. As the boys are forged in the fire of combat, they must ask themselves: what are they willing to become to survive? And if they can't get home, what are they willing to sacrifice to protect the one they've found?
