“When the nation's protection was no longer sustainable by human means, it was augmented by the inhuman.”  A soldier in an army of dolls must navigate the loss of his closest companion and, in trying to elucidate his friend’s last moments, begins to realize that the entities that have all but replaced man on the battlefield, might be more than they initially seem. Halcyon follows Kruger’s journey through his war and his relationships with the comrades that come and go.
