Generalplan Süden
Confront the war within, to survive the war without.
History would never forget the 18th of the Aster's Gloom of the year 2030.
Twenty-three years after the fall of the Ayvartan Empire and the rise of the Socialist Dominances of Solstice, the great southern continent once more found itself at war. From far overseas, the Nocht Federation, the Kingdom of Lubon and the Empire of Hanwa joined forces to declare war on the burgeoning Ayvartan nation, hoping to stifle its revolutionary ideals and restore what they see as its legitimate government. They prepared to do whatever it took to tear down the red flag flying over the ancient fortress city of Solstice.
To secure the gains of their revolution, the Ayvartans struggle to reorganize themselves for a total war that will drag the entire world into its bloodshed and madness. Unprepared, and overwhelmed, the communists must deal with the war within their own nation and their own hearts and minds, if they are to survive the war for the course of history itself.
The Solstice War is a grand strategic narrative, a fantasy story inspired by the events, battles and equipment of the second world war but with a modern, alternate universe spin. It is a story about ideology, history and identity with a diverse cast of characters and multiple perspectives on the action and drama.
Generalplan Suden is the first volume of the Solstice War, collecting chapters 0 through 24 including the Knyskna and Bada Aso storylines and interludes.

This series will always have a place in my heart. Having read it when I was a young teenager and rediscovering it this year. This is an old work by the author, and having read their latest serial 'Unjust Depths', I already know how far she's come in terms of general writing ability. The fact that anyone's written a Socialist Military Fiction for the Girlies is incredible.
I do want to make a special mention of how this is one of the first works I ever read with trans representation and very good representation at that. It's also, along with The Last Girl Scout and Love of Worker Bees, one of the only works of fiction I've read that takes place in a burgeoning Socialist society. We need more of that, I think.
Lastly, I want to mention the fact that the author has clearly sourced aspects of the cultures in the book from cultures outside of Europe and North America. Which is frankly delightful and a breath of fresh air.
