The complete set in one package – as much military science fiction adventure as your heart can handle. Aliens. Galactic conquest. Grunts. And firepower. Humanity learns that it's not the biggest or the baddest in the universe, but that doesn't stop them.
Scorpion's Fury:
Who kicks off the battle? Cannon fodder. Soften up the enemy. The Metal Legion. Old mechs crewed by former prisoners with nowhere else to go. They carry the burden. They bear the pain.
But they don't want to die. “Never fight fair when fighting for your life” The motto of the Metal Legion. They fight to win.
The mechs stand tall, or crawl, or run, or scamper. A dozen different designs, held together by rough welds and sheer willpower. And the soldiers within, like Xi Bao who refuses to give up.
Taking her armor underground, she finds the enemy, in numbers far greater than she was told. Knee deep in the war, her crew gives their old mech new vigor for one last chance at glory.
Victory or death! More ammo. More missiles. More beds in the hospital.

My Review: I got this one as part of my Christmas gift from my daughter and it's taken me a while to get through all eight books. This was mainly because, as usual, I was reading more than one book at a time, but also partly because after reading the first three I was getting reader overload! This was very reminiscent of the writing style of David Weber with lots of military detail but also plenty of fighting (mostly with giant ass Mechs). I was very pleased with the aliens in this book as they were well written and believable. The only thing I wasn't too happy about was that it finally came to an end.
If you like your military Science Fiction to be full of great characters, wonderfully descriptive writing and some really good kick-arse action you won't go wrong with this one.
