The warriors

In a future where any act of physical aggression triggers global catastrophe, humanity has been forced to replace traditional warfare with non‑violent strategies. The story follows MacFarland, a soldier‑turned‑operative who leads a convoy through a restless African plain, tasked with slipping a team of brilliant biochemists out of a hostile city and onto a midnight flight. Accompanied by a mercenary regiment and a cutting‑edge psych‑technology crew, his mission hinges on out‑thinking, not out‑shooting, the forces arrayed against them.

As the convoy circles the city, crowds flare up and a hovering helicopter shines a relentless spotlight on their route, turning every movement into a public spectacle. MacFarland must rely on masks, psychological tricks, and the precise coordination of his team while staying within the strict prohibitions of the World Court, which would imprison any breach of the non‑violence treaty. The tension builds around whether clever deception can outrun a world that no longer tolerates bloodshed.
