Iron Dogs: Fire and Rust Book 1

Written by Anthony James

Narrated by Andy Ingalls

High-stakes combat in a pitiless universe. Iron Dogs is a sci-fi adventure in which human bravery and technology come up against the might of an alien war machine in the harshest of environments.

Humanity is within months of losing an interstellar war to a species of aliens known as Fangrin. Giving up isn't an option. Victory doesn't seem like an option either. When Commander Jake Griffin is sent out with the Eternity carrier group to hunt down and destroy enemy facilities, he has no idea what's coming to him. The planet Graxol-4 out in the middle of nowhere hides a critical enemy base with vital resources just waiting to be stolen. The only problem is, it's guarded by a war fleet and surface troops, while the planet itself is toxic and gripped by constant storms. Victory on Graxol-4 may not win the war, but it will buy time for humanity to regroup, toughen up and come back harder.

Reviews for Iron Dogs

[Eric Crim · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

The beginning felt as though it was glossing over the situation the characters were involved in, as if we should have had previously known information before starting the series. The characters have a very slow build as to who they are. Definitely a lot of action and fast paced sequences that transition to otherwise completely different areas of more action. Felt like there should have been a whole other book explaining the situation and why the characters were were they were doing what they were doing.

Fun reading! The first book started out a little slow i think. I thought it was going to be a narrowly focused story about a group of soldiers on a planet in space, but it quickly blows up into so much more than i was expecting. The group of human protagonists wont give up and keep finding themselves in the middle of every sht storm, managing, in each suspensful conflict, to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. The writing is funny and the aliens and humans have thought out personalities behaviors.
