The best steel is forged by the hottest fires and under the greatest pressures. So too, have the Kurdish Peshmerga been shaped by thousands of years of warfare and oppression. Now, for the first time in history, they have their own nation, and it’s a chance to live, grow, and develop as a unified people. But they are surrounded by hostile dictatorships intent on the destruction of their young republic. Outnumbered and outgunned as armored columns swarm their borders, the Kurdish Republic’s only hope lies in a canceled DARPA project—an experimental, powered combat suit—and the business tycoon who refuses to allow the nascent nation to go under. The only question is, will they be enough? "A masterfully plotted and authentic action thriller!" —Larry Correia, New York Times best-selling author of the Monster Hunter International series "As a veteran and an author in the military thriller genre, I can tell you this series is as good as it gets! Grab your GOG suit and come along for the ride!" —John Ringo, New York Times best-selling author of the Posleen War series.
