This is the second novella/short story for the Lunar Chronicles series.

The Queen's Army is a must read novella. It explains Wolf/Ze'ev's past and why he is the person he is today. He's chosen to be a part of the Queen's special army. Where the soldiers are genetically modified to become wolves. Yep. Definitely Little Red Riding Hood. Ze'ev's younger brother, Ran, joins the army soon after him. Ze'ev tries to help Ran, but Ran refuses help and becomes the Omega of the pack. Throughout the training, Ze'ev becomes Alpha after killing the previous leader. This divides the brothers even more. The Queen sees Ze'ev's potential and has him sent down to Earth to join the army there.
