Scions have no limits. Scions usually do not die. And Scions usually do not disappear.

Sergeant Ted Regan has a issue. A son of one of the great corporate households, a Scion, has gone missing at the front. He should have been covered by his Ironclad – the lethal fight suits that produce the Scions masters of battle – but something has truly gone catastrophically wrong.

Today Regan and his males, ill-equipped and demoralised, must move behind foe lines, find the missing Scion, and uncover how his match failed. Is there a new Ironclad killer out there? And exactly how are common soldiers, lacking the security afforded the wealthy, supposed to endure the battlefield of tomorrow?

A standalone audiobook with the Arthur C Clarke Award-winning writer of Children of your time.
