The future of warfare involves expensive and almost impenetrable iron suits to protect those fighting on the battlefield. It still involves the same old underhand political scheming and tactics, though. This is something that Sargent Ted Regan, and the handful of soldiers under his command, understand intimately. When a Scion, the metal-clad soldier son of a wealthy family, is lost across the borders of enemy lines it is up to his grunts to return him to safety. Or is it?

I really liked how convoluted the story-line was, how much of it took place behind-the-scenes of the action in the forefront, and how clever the construction was to align the two together. There was a constant barrage of questions thrown at the reader and protagonist alike, and it created the illusion of the antagonist lying everywhere and nowhere at the same time. As the story closes, both of us are still divided on the real truth of this.
