Flesh and Iron

The Guardsmen of the 31st Riverine Amphibious deploy to a jungle world expecting a routine action, only to be swallowed by a brutal rebellion and a war turning against them. Set within the wider Medina conflict, the novel grinds its soldiers through guerrilla horror and the slow rot of insurgency. It is a grim, mud-and-blood Imperial Guard story that runs alongside the events of the first Bastion Wars book.
