Soldier (Iron Legion Book 2)

<b>James Maddox is a hero.<br />But that might not save him...</b><br /><br />The Federation don't like failure. Especially not when it involves the loss of a star carrier, and thousands of troops on board. They need someone to blame, and that <i>someone</i> is usually the newest, greenest recruit. Even if all Maddox did wrong was fall out of a burning spaceship onto a planet called Draven, recruit an army, blow up an enemy base and save the day...<br /><br />Still, the Mech Corps prizes the Academy track. Uniformity. Everything that 'Red' Maddox ain't. He'll never be the automaton they want him to be. He figures he's about to be ejected, or worse, court-martialled.<br /><br />But for once, he gets lucky. He's offered a gig in Special Ops. In the kind of unit where a soldier might make a name. Especially since it's run by a disgraced officer looking for redemption, and the motley crew from Draven.<br /><br />It's a second chance. But Red's about to discover that if the Corps was the frying pan, then Special Ops is <i>definitely</i> the fire...<br /><br /><i>Soldier is the second book in the gripping Iron Legion series. If you haven't read Book One, Recruit, then hurry up already...</i>
