About this listen
Scions have no limits. Scions do not die. And Scions do not disappear.
Sergeant Ted Regan has a problem. A son of one of the great corporate families, a Scion, has gone missing at the front. He should have been protected by his Ironclad - the lethal battle suits that make the Scions masters of war - but something has gone catastrophically wrong.
Now Regan and his men, ill-equipped and demoralised, must go behind enemy lines, find the missing Scion and uncover how his suit failed. Is there a new Ironclad killer out there? And how are common soldiers, lacking the protection afforded the rich, supposed to survive the battlefield of tomorrow?
A stand-alone audiobook by the Arthur C Clarke Award-winning author of Children of Time.

Boardroom / Warroom
Loved the connection of powers and the disregard for the people affected getting their opportunity, willingly or unwillingly, to restore balance

Short, snappy, great fun.
Well paced, great narration and a credible snapshot of a near future in which giant multinationals are more powerful than governments.

Awesome!
I like the author, starting to be one of my favorites and this book makes it even easier to say that he is indeed one of the best.
Initially i was out off by the length but it was a real supervise to find that size is not that important. (heh)
I have listened to books twice the length that did not feel that complete and did not capture my attention as much.
This is a complete story, nothing missing and i do not feel like there is anything to add.
I would love to see more in this universe.
On the story itself, i loved the difference between the 2 continents,
It reminded me of the older Sci-Fi movies but brought up to current days.
A great book and definitely recommend.

Poor narration.
I think I would have really liked the story if the narration hadn’t spoiled it.

Excellent futuristic war story.
Great if you're a fan of military sci-fi, suspence and plot twists. Really well done.

Has some Excellent moments
The cover art, blurb and title gives the impression Ironclads is a steam/dieselpunk adventure. However it's actually a rather hellish, dystopian near future yarn, jam-packed with well staged action and wry social comment. Despite being pretty short, the story does sag towards the end, but for the most part it's a pretty compelling listen.
One major gripe is the narration, I've heard Peter Noble before and he's excellent, but a whole novel in a fake American accent? why not just hire an American? Didn't bother me too much, but it may some. Listen to the sample first!

Great Sci Fi Short Story
I enjoyed this one. It was well thought out and has depth, complexity and plausible plot. The story is expressed in a colloquial way which might make it seem less than it is at first glance / if listening to a sample; this is much the same as with Dogs of War. In both stories that colloquial style helps convey the character of the narrator / pratagonist / hero as well as grounding the sci-fi. If you like sci-fi or just fancy giving it a try this is worth a go.

Not the best Narration
Good story, I think it would have been better if the narration wasn’t so jarring.

Good story, disliked the narration.
I couldn’t deal with the narration style. It simply ruffled me the wrong way and ruined the story (good!) for me.

A good read
Excellent narration by Peter Noble. An interesting novella on the ambiguities of war in a dystopian future.
