About this listen

Winner of the 2017 Dragon Award for Best Military Science Fiction or Fantasy Novel

I am Armor. I am fury. I will not fail.

Soldiers of the Terran Armor Corps wage war across the stars. Wired into mechanized battle suits, they fight the terrifying battles which must be won, no matter the cost. Their deeds are legend, their reputation feared by the enemies of Earth and her allies, but how the Corps forges young men and women into mighty warriors is shrouded by mystery.

Roland Shaw lost his parents to war, he volunteers for the Armor Corps to honor their memory and discover just how far he can push himself. To succeed, he must find the iron in his heart and prove himself worthy to the Corps. For the Armor, there is no substitute for victory and to fail is to die.

Iron Dragoons is an action-packed military sci-fi novel, the first of a new series by the author of The Ember War Saga.

Slow start and abrupt end but I'm hopeful

The setting is sometime in the not too distant future from the end of the Ember War and while there are references and encounters with some of the previous crew of the Breitenfeld, none of them play any significant role in this new series, at least in Book 1.

While Richard Fox does provide an ample amount of backstory for the primary protagonist, Roland Shaw, I yet to find him a very compelling character. I suspect that much of that has to do with the fact that most of the book focused on his lengthy indecision on joining and then meeting up with his eventual squad mates and then their travails and blunders of going through what amounts to the Terran Armor Corps boot camp process, a lot of which involves virtual reality scenarios.

I also found the emphasis of mysticism a bit overdone and touching lightly on a cultish insistence from the Armor Corps cadre to treat fallen Armor Kallen from the Ember War series as a saint and encouraging agnostic Roland to pray to her.

The ending a bit of a disappointment in that there is an introduction from an entity called Minder, which is seemingly Xaros Torni, warning General Garret of Ember War, now president, that the Ibarras are up to no good and that it is time to destroy them but with little else to go on.

Luke Daniels narration was up to his expected high standard.

Excellent performance by narrator

The story keeps you engaged albeit a bit short. I will continue the series. The gem is the narrator.

Cool story with amazing narration!

A really neat start to a sci-fi series! Wasn't sure what to expect. Kinda thought it would be a dull to mediocre military sci-fi story, but it has some really great characters that introduce you to this militaristic universe.

I hope they add the rest of the books past 2 on Audible Premium, but I'm sure they make these free to interest you into getting the rest. Solid enough start that I just might do that!
