“Recruit (Iron Legion Book 1)†wasn’t entirely bad. The author understood the mechanics of writing well enough to use correct grammar and spelling. The protagonist wasn’t unlikable. There was the bare bones of a plot present.Unfortunately, the plot wasn’t especially original. An unprepared young man gets conscripted and finds himself in the middle of an adventure in which only he is capable of saving the day. I have frankly read variations on this idea dozens of different times. The title of this book makes it clear that this is only the first book in a projected series. The dozens of similar books I have read suggest the broad outlines of this series will be predictable. I have become tired of military science fiction and especially tired of the Horatio Hornblower in space trope. Can’t somebody please write something different?The author of this science fiction book doesn’t seem to have an especially good grasp of basic science. For example, the characters are traveling between star systems aboard a very large spaceship. Suddenly, they pass very near a planet that is not near their destination and their ship comes under fire from rebels on a planet believed to be uninhabited. Let’s stop there for the moment. Does the author have no concept of the magnitude of interstellar distances? The odds of a ship traveling between two stars unexpectedly passing close to an inhabited planet are literally astronomical. The odds against it are so large as to render the entire scenario unbelievable. Further, a starship passing by such a planet would be traveling at very high speeds. It isn’t exactly clear whether this author is positing ships traveling at near-light-speed or at faster than light speeds. I will take a stab in the dark and guess the latter is the case. Even a ship traveling at near light speeds, however, would pass by a planet so quickly that the sort of drawn out space battle that takes place in the book would simply be impossible. And, wouldn’t people capable of building and piloting such ships be smart enough to navigate their ships away from planets?The battle scene doesn’t make sense for another reason. The ship is traveling between two points in space when suddenly they are fired upon from this nearby planet. Somehow, the ship comes to a dead stop relative to the planet. How did that happen? A basic principle of science is that an object traveling in a straight line tends to continue traveling in a straight line unless it is acted upon by an outside force. It doesn’t just come to a stop. Is there some unique kind of FTL drive at play here such that the ship comes to rest once the FTl drive stops? If so, we are never told that this is the case. It looks like the author just didn’t understand that this kind of thing violates a basic law of physics.Gravity is something else that the author doesn’t seem to understand. The author doesn’t go into detail about what kind of system the ship uses to simulate gravity but some facts are clear. First, the characters aren’t just floating around inside the ship so something must be holding them to the decks. Second, we don’t observe any signs of acceleration or deceleration. Third, we don’t observe anything to suggest that gravity is simulated by spinning the ship. Fourth, there are no descriptions of shoes with magnets, Velcro, or similar devices to hold the characters feet to the decks of the ship. All of this makes it look like there is some kind of artificial gravity system at work inside the ship.When the ship comes under enemy fire, it gets hit several times. Suddenly, orientation of gravity on the ship shifts so that up becomes down. The orientation of gravity changes again at least a few more times. The characters get bounced around and injured. The protagonist has to make a heroic effort to overcome the changing gravity in order to rescue himself and an injured friend from the ship before it crashes. So, what’s causing all of these gravity fluctuations? There is no explanation given at all. The author apparently concluded that it just made good drama.When the protagonist gets to the planet, he is knocked unconscious. Within minutes of waking up, he encounters characters who are more senior than him in the sense of both rank and tenure in their organization. Let’s be clear - this is a military organization. Somehow, these two senior characters don’t take command. Instead, they are willing to be guided by the protagonist and his friend despite the fact that neither the protagonist nor his friend have even finished their military training. This runs completely counter to the principle of a chain of command. A chain of command is present in every military. Why would the two junior characters end up running the show? There is no convincing explanation.The problems don’t end there but I see little point in providing further details. This book needs a major re-write in order to be acceptable. The only reason I gave this book two stars instead of one is because there aren’t major spelling and grammar errors.
I almost stopped reading this novel after the second chapter, but I’m glad I hung in there. James Maddox is a lab grown human (called a “tuberâ€) designed to work in a dead-end job manufacturing atmosphere on a dingy planet in the vast Federation. He gets drafted out of his mundane existence into the Federation Ground Forces where the three year survival rate is publicly known to be 7%. This number is a big problem for the credibility of the Iron Legion universe. First off, no one seems to think that the Federation is at war, so why would it be losing 93% of all of its soldiers? Secondly, there would be riots every time the military appeared to conscript people if that figure was really common knowledge. Third, it’s difficult to imagine that the Federation could maintain any kind of real fighting machine with that casualty rate—not just because morale would be nonexistent among the troops but because it takes a certain core of experienced soldiers to pass on the traditions and experience that permits an army to function. But that’s not the end of the basic—let’s call them “world building†problems.Maddox breaks the records in his simulation test and becomes the first tuber to be given a chance to join the Iron Legion—soldiers who pilot twenty-foot-tall mech warriors that were clearly inspired by Robert A. Heinlein’s Starship Troopers. Because he’s a tuber, everyone in the program—pilots, instructors, and commanding officers—want him to fail. He has to join an already in progress class made up of academy graduates and immediately get up to speed with them in their study and performance or get kicked out. Let me repeat that. He is expected in three days to catch up academically with a class of students who have studied in military academies all their lives well enough to pass the next exam they are taking. (Failure means eviction from the program.) Astoundingly, Maddox not only passes the test, he keeps passing them, yet this doesn’t affect the feelings of a single person in the military toward him. Again, think about what this means. Not only must Maddox be an Einstein level intelligence, he must also be the Michelangelo of the mech world to accomplish this, but his success makes no impression whatsoever on any of his instructors or superiors because he is a tuber. I suspect, that in reality, within hours of his record breaking sim performance, the military would have been moving to grow ten thousand new James Maddoxes that could be properly educated from birth in the hopes of turning them into super soldiers.So let’s pretend that that’s actually happening behind the scenes and get into what this novel is best at. Through several chapters that mostly depict hazing by Maddox’s classmates, authors Ryker and Morgan succeed in building interesting relationships between Maddox and three and a half other people in the program. These are not positive relationships as all of these people are antagonistic toward our hero, but they formed the basis of what I assumed would become a core group that Maddox would reluctantly win over by saving them repeatedly in combat. The groundwork for this actually is set in place during an extended sim exercise, but rather than build on this, the carrier the students are on is destroyed and Maddox is launched into the last phase of the novel.This final phase is filled with action-packed adventure as Maddox basically saves the day. We pick up two new (and interesting) cast members and rescue one of the old ones. We also find out for the first time that there is a 7% survival rate because the Federation has been at war for centuries with a group referred to as “the Free†who don’t like the dictatorial policies of the Federation. (I wager that by the end of the series, Maddox has switched sides and joined the Free.) The Federation doesn’t come off looking good here and Maddox and his new friends move heaven and earth to rescue a bunch of their fellow soldiers captured by the Free before the Federation counterstrike turns them into friendly-fire casualties. Maddox’s moral sense—his willingness to put himself on the line to save others—differentiates him from most of the people we’ve met in the book and I’d have liked to understand better where this attitude came from. It’s certainly respectable, but his background didn’t seem to teach him anything but looking out for himself.Overall, I enjoyed the book. It has some major weaknesses in its background, but those weaknesses didn’t really spoil the experience for me and I suspect elements like this will get better as the authors become more comfortable in their Iron Legion universe.
The universe in this novel, and everyone in it, is ugly and selfish and mean spirited. The decision to make the central conflict a morally ambiguous fight between gray hats on the one side and more gray hats on the other side leaves the narrative grounded in nothing but the protagonist's fight for survival. That present a likability problem for the reader - when our protagonist is the only person in the book with a conscience, and the setting itself has contempt for him!Three stars because the action and suspense are well crafted, but given that they are in service to nothing, it leaves the rest of the book feeling as satisfying as the worst of Michael Bay's films.If nothing matters, does it really matter if you read this book? Nope.
I enjoyed the book, it was a fast read and kept my interest throughout. I was left wanting more but maybe too much more. The end felt a little like the author was tired and just wanted to be finished. Never the less I already bought the next in the series and look forward to more of the story.
I really enjoyed this book and the mechs are pretty good but there isn't much to go on because the main character is just a recruit. Once the action picks up it doesn't stop but good action. The main character goes through some hell through this book and never really gets to rest because of the constant harassment, accidents, and war. Good first book to the series cannot wait to read the next.
A Great coming-of-age mil sci read. Not so much science that requires suspension of belief, and the characters are recognizable in today's military. The only negative is that the sequels are still in David Tyler's mind and computer notes. C'mon dude, we're waiting!!
