    About this audiobook

    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 standalone audiobook by the Arthur C Clarke Award-winning author of Children of Time.

      (2.5 Stars, rounded down for Everand)

      For me, this was just ok. I didn't hate the story, I just had a hard time visualizing it. I also didn't love the narrator (Peter Noble), but I don't think that made me dislike the book. I found the characters unrelatable and flat. I thought the book length was appropriate, as any longer would have felt too drawn out.

      I looked ahead and noticed that the next book in the series has a different narrator, and is also a shorter work, so I'll most likely give it a shot. I have heard that the third book in the series is the best, so, I'll probably give that one a try too if I can get through the second book in this series.

      The only characters that were even slightly interesting were underused in the story and there was no real character development. The "world" was our world, but was recognizable in name only.

      This is a great story by Tchaikovsky! It should be a movie.
    • 3/5
      It was okay. The sci-fi side was a bit weak and not much really happened.
