Publisher's summary

Thrilling science-fiction adventure from best-selling authors Larry Correia and John Brown.

The heart of a warrior

Once, Jackson Rook was a war hero. Raised from boyhood to pilot an exosuit mech, he’d fought gallantly for the rebellion against the Collectivists. But that was a long time ago, on a world very far away.

Now, Jackson Rook is a criminal, a smuggler on board the Multipurpose Supply Vehicle Tar Heel. His latest mission: steal a top-of-the-line mech called the Citadel and deliver it to the far-flung planet Swindle, a world so hostile even the air will kill you. The client: a man known only as the Warlord.

Rook has been in the smuggling business long enough to know that it’s best to take the money and not ask questions. But Rook cannot stand by and watch as the Warlord runs roughshod over the citizens of Swindle, the way the Collectivists did on his homeworld. For all his mercenary ways, Rook is not a pirate. And deep within the smuggler, the heart of a warrior still beats.

Solid SciFi adventure.

Well done. Great characters and story arc, with a twisting morality compass that lets the reader see all sides. Fun tech, excellent story telling and world building. hoping this is the beginning of a LONG and interesting series of books.

Nice addition to my action sci-fi collection

Very neat world building. Took a while to get to the juciy action bits at the end. But I did enjoy the intrugue and close to the chest planning. Lots of funny lines from the characters. There isnt a huge depth to the characters but they play their roles perfectly.

Fun N Fast

Its not hard sci-fi its a fun adventure book. Action, battles, creatures and intrigue. I enjoyed the story and the narration was excellent. I look forward to a follow up story. Sometimes the story may slow a bit then it picks up and moves quickly. With Wyman’s soothing voice i was able to just relax and enjoy. Overall fun & fast.
So try it you will like it!

Larry and John really hit it out of the park!

What could be better in a sci-fi story than mechs, and kaiju, and spaceship battles? Why, if it's a story written by Larry Correia and John D Brown!
This exciting romp grabs you right from the beginning, and doesn't let go of you until the last page.
All I can tell you is this, watch out for the muderbot teddy bears and their chainsaw arms. Sure they're cute, but you don't want one giving you a hug.
