The Iron Wolves are a company of legionnaires whose legendary exploits date back to the Savage Wars. When they are invited to be guests of honor at a ceremony on a small, backwater planet, they look forward to some precious time away from the constant conflicts of galaxy's edge. But when a neighboring country invades, disrupting the ceremony and killing innocents, the Wolves are forced to make an impossible decision. Aid a people pleading for their protection...or obey the cynical orders of their senate to stand down and see how the dust settles.

Publisher's Summary
Feel the thunder!
Stryker Company always brings the fight, but when they relieve embittered and embattled Republic marines, they find an enemy unwilling to stand up and face them. Tasked with protecting the Republic's interests on a mining world, the legionnaires face roadside ambushes, double-dealing locals, and constant sabotage.
And the mission isn’t as straightforward as they thought it would be.
As skirmishes escalate into coordinated ambushes and assaults, two squad leaders, Talon and Lankin, are forced to chase after the sparks threatening to ignite the entire populace into a full-blown insurgency. Denied the legionnaires and resources they need to contain the situation, a single platoon fights to complete a mission requiring all of Stryker Company. The outnumbered platoon must work their way from glittering coastal ports, through steamy jungles and dust-covered mines, to find an enemy hidden seamlessly among the indigenous populace.
The cost is high; the sacrifice great…but nothing short of death itself will stop the legionnaires of Stryker Company from completing its objective. In this stand-alone tale of combat, brotherhood, and sacrifice, these legionnaires will learn what it truly means to make the ultimate sacrifices for their friends.
Experience this thrilling story of combat, brotherhood and sacrifice set in the Galaxy’s Edge universe as USAF veteran and retired police officer Josh Hayes teams up with Anspach & Cole. If you’re a fan of Legionnaire you’ll love this military sci-fi thriller.

Might be the best book in it's genre right now.
I listen to a ton of audiobooks, most of them in this genre. The story locked me in early and I felt like I was there with the Legion. I've always been a fan of Ray Porter's narration, but this one is truly exceptional. I hope to listen to a lot more books from Josh Hayes, Jason Ansbach, and Nick Cole. Great book. Highly recommended.

"The legion is a calling"
I cried when Ray Porter read the final letter from Chase. His voice was Chase. His narration was excellent. A first for me, had not had the pleasure of listening to his narration until this book. The legion is a calling and these books are becoming my bible.

This is another great story in the Galaxy's Edge series. I only deduct one star from the performance because it feels like the narrator oftentimes forces accents that simply do not sound natural

Beautifully Crafted and Detailed
Josh Hayes has created a masterpiece with Stryker's War. The book reads like a play-by-play of what could be pulled from today's activities in Iraq or Afghanistan. Hayes has created a rich, detailed environment, full of very believable characters that are so full of personality you want to choke some, while cheering on others. Crafted like a model builder constructs a diorama, filling in details that you never noticed before, but realized there were there all along, this book is guaranteed to satisfy the rivet counters and nit pickers, leaving them little to complain about. The narrator jumps from character to character seamlessly, creating the "look" and feel of an Amazon Prime mini-series you want to binge watch. Get it. Listen to it. You won't be sorry.

A futurestic story with a hint of the political problems of Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan that soldiers have to deal with but have no control over. Ray Porter is one of the best narrators EVER!

A genuine Galaxy's Edge novel.
After being slightly disappointed in the conclusion of the Galaxy's Edge series, this book was a pure delight. Well written and you can feel that the authors have either done their research or had military experience. At first I was a little skeptical of the books short runtime but the story flows and is complete. Bonus I placed the main character of this novel in the Galaxy's Edge series before the end of the book.
Also if you can listen to the last chapter and the epilogue without tearing up, you have no soul.

Intense
This book was an intense portrayal of a Legion unit deployed on a Fringe World. The unit not only had to battle insurgents but also the politics of their own command and government. It revolves around the actions of two sergeants and their interaction with the immediate leadership.
This book never bores you. It is a very good description of the fighting and pain involved in the conflict.
The narration is also very good.
This book was provided free of charge with the expectation of an honest review.

Moving and exciting
It’s often hard for non military to understand how the bonds of friendship bind way beyond what you might expect in a normal setting, this book gives an idea of that and of the waste incurred in conflict.
Finally got used to Ray Porters narration and it was very good

Brilliant story and narration!
Another excellent addition to the GE universe. Ray Porter's narration solid as ever adding the icing to the cake!

Too military not enough sci fi
I love the Galaxy Edge series but not this particular novel. This book has a very real US in Iraq / Vietnam feel. Soldiers and corporate security deal with uppity aliens. It definately suffers from a lack of science fiction and I kept hoping that the poor down trodden aliens would KTF and rid their planet of the resource stealing republic. So that makes this book a large failure.
I am sure that ex-service men will be reminded of their tours, but the galaxy will survive ok if this book was lost or forgotten. It is too involved with the minutia of basic soldering to be interesting.
