About this listen

Scions have no limits. Scions do not die. And Scions do not disappear.

Sergeant Ted Regan has a problem. A son of one of the great corporate families, a Scion, has gone missing at the front. He should have been protected by his Ironclad - the lethal battle suits that make the Scions masters of war - but something has gone catastrophically wrong.

Now Regan and his men, ill-equipped and demoralised, must go behind enemy lines, find the missing Scion and uncover how his suit failed. Is there a new Ironclad killer out there? And how are common soldiers, lacking the protection afforded the rich, supposed to survive the battlefield of tomorrow?

A stand-alone audiobook by the Arthur C Clarke Award-winning author of Children of Time.

My only complaint is this book is not long enough. I would love a full novel of these guys. .

Tough, brutal and quite a lot of fun.

Good story, I think it would have been better if the narration wasn’t so jarring.

Not the best Narration

Loads of fun to be had here. Lots of big, crazy tech stomping around, twists and turns in the plot, mixed with unsubtle but straight-faced polemic.

Likely too short to be worth a credit, but if you have a spare one, and want near-future mech action from one of the best sci-fi authors on the scene right now, fill your robo-boots.

Short, but great.

Excellent narration by Peter Noble. An interesting novella on the ambiguities of war in a dystopian future.

A good read

I thought this is definitely good sci-fi, I like the short story format, the author crams a lot in, but he's very good at that.

Good
