Operation Andromeda。 The eastern front is a known unknown。 It's a functioning morass of sparsely inhabited mud fields and poorly maintained rails。 Outposts on the eastern front are ugly， quiet， and lonely。 But there is movement。 The Empire has cobbled together the last remnants of its most stalwart land units。 Its current goal is to justify one final push into Federation territory。 This last-ditch operation， somewhat ironically， is not to decapitate Federation leadership， but to capture physical Operation Andromeda。 The eastern front is a known unknown。 It's a functioning morass of sparsely inhabited mud fields and poorly maintained rails。 Outposts on the eastern front are ugly， quiet， and lonely。 But there is movement。 The Empire has cobbled together the last remnants of its most stalwart land units。 Its current goal is to justify one final push into Federation territory。 This last-ditch operation， somewhat ironically， is not to decapitate Federation leadership， but to capture physical resources and ammunition stores that would further enable the Empire to continue the war effort。 The Empire， in effect， is now waging war so as to acquire the means to wage war。This sad state of affairs now permeates the highest levels of military awareness。 If readers take away anything from THE SAGA OF TANYA THE EVIL #8， it's that the crumbling war effort has exposed how narrow the venture for truth remains when squeezed by the realities of distant conflicts gone awry and near-term politics， long since corrupted。 And it is in this narrow venture for the truth that unauthorized attempts to eke out rational solutions are met with a sardonic smile and a dismissive wave （Zettour: "It would require an awful lot of self-deception to look away from reality and pretend like there weren't serious problems underpinning the entire situation，" p。 59）。Previously， Lieutenant Generals von Rudersdorf and von Zettour knew the war must end， should the Empire survive with any semblance of power。 Zettour enacted a peacekeeping mission via the Kingdom of Ildoa。 This effort， as readers soon learn， ended in failure。 Subsequent this scheme， Lieutenant General von Zettour earned a demotion-by-promotion， and was sent to the eastern front for his sins。 And all during the fateful Operation Andromeda。 Indeed， how is the Empire supposed to turn the tide of total war， to supply its main forces， when the man in charge of the operations division is cast into near-exile？Lieutenant Colonel Tanya von Degurechaff feels the strain。 Gaining ground。 Wedging positive results。 Disregarding attrition。 Surviving another season of disingenuous public support。 This is how wars are fought now。 The conflict between Supreme Command's dereliction of common sense and the General Staff's principled assessment of an increasingly grievous situation sees the Salamander Kampfgruppe wielded as both a shield and a weapon。 And when Zettour himself is posted to the front， as pseudo punishment， Degurechaff knows something's wrong。THE SAGA OF TANYA THE EVIL #8 witnesses Zettour and Degurechaff working side-by-side， a definitive meeting of the Empire's most strategic minds， and the outcome is as feverish and blood-soaked as one might imagine。 One presumes the author has been waiting a while to put these two characters together to properly map out the gamesmanship of total war。 Thankfully， the current volume does not disappoint in this regard。 The novel provides an exquisite balance of strategy and tactics。 That is to say， the plan of action for the battle to come and observing the risks and dangers associated with earning the requisite results， while separately， the individual movements within said plan of action， whose consequences must be accounted for in blood and iron， in real time。Operation Andromeda is of two components。 A Group will attack the stores of the Federation， while B Group maintains the rear in active defense。 Neither segment possesses either the supplies or training to do its job properly。 But orders are orders。 And in B Group， where Zettour and Degurechaff are stationed， it's Zettour who manifests an insidious plot to use the Salamander Kampfgruppe as bait to eradicate the Federation's most formidable aerial mage corps。Does his plan succeed？ Zettour is a hard and bitter man。 THE SAGA OF TANYA THE EVIL #8 provides readers with ample time and space to get inside the man's head to gain a fuller understanding of how he views his role in the war effort。 As such， "success，" is not the best word to describe his push for the maneuver battle that subjects the Salamander Kampfgruppe to untold stress。 Zettour does not seek success; he seeks to validate the due contradiction of his duty。The contradiction of abiding by Supreme Command's orders， marking visible the flaws in those orders， and then proposing a solution whose veracity speaks to the many blemishes inherent in the greater war strategy -- this is what Zettour seeks to expose。 The Empire is fighting a war based on what it feels to be just， not on what it knows to be true。 Readers are forewarned that these logical fault lines may get the general killed， may cut short the General Staff's most prized units， and may， however accidentally， find the Empire reflected in the eyes of its sworn enemies。 And yet， Zettour holds， when finally made visible， the truth shall bring certainty。And if this war is to end， then certain individuals of a certain fortitude must be charged with this unconditional certainty if they are to attain victory。Which leaves only one question left: What is Tanya willing to do， for the sake of the Empire， to earn total victory？ 。。。more

Definitely some localization tomfoolery sneaking into this volume。 All the same though it was enjoyable for that strange niche of person that enjoys this genre。 Time to hurry up and wait for the next volume。

Fantastic countinuation of the storyThis book focuses almost entirely on one campaign on the eastern front。 Still a great story， and leaves off on what is likely to be a hilarious new plot change for the mc in the next book。
