- Along similar lines is a book I love called "We All Died At Breakaway
- Station". Can't recall the author but the humans are fighting some
- alien race and the aliens are winning. Soldiers are brought back from
- death and sent back to battle. Eventually all the humans die. Its
- quite depressing really :-)
