When two brothers, Edward and Alphonse Elric, dabbled in alchemy to grant their dearest wish, one of them lost an arm and leg - and the other became nothing but a soul locked into a body of living iron. Now they are agents of the government, slaves of the military, using their unique powers to obey their orders - even to kill. Bargain omnibus editions of one of the best-selling manga series of all time!In an alchemical ritual gone wrong, Edward Elric lost his arm and his leg, and his brother Alphonse became nothing but a soul in a suit of armor.

But they don't want him dead...they have other plans for him.

But then, Lieutenant Colonel Maes Hughes uncovers a shocking secret...
