Ex-special forces man, Vincent Brent, is tough, ruthless and highly trained; he’s now using his skills for whoever will pay him without cashing in the bounty on his head.
In this world of the near future, the UN has failed. Wars are fought in boardrooms through attorneys and politics, and on our streets with private armies of military or criminal assets. In Sicily, the Chief of Security for one such corporate alliance struggles to survive as hidden forces attempt to manipulate him for their own ends.
Both these men find their fates intertwined. In the cross-hairs of powerful adversaries, they must both make decisions of life and death in a choice between command and conscience.
David J Rodger’s trademark unforgiving rendering of brutal reality, and relentless narrative pace, are here in palm-sweating abundance, delivered in a complex novel that will keep you turning pages until the end.

"Iron Man Project - Short Review" I know Davids work on role playing Games (Yellow Dawn) and was interested to see how his skills in writing translate to a Novel. I was not disappointed. Iron Man has it all, fast pacing, action and Drama. What I especially liked about the book was his depiction of a dystopian near future where there is no Black and White, only shades of Grey. Even the main protagonist is essentially a "Bad guy" but with redeeming qualities. The book clearly shows, that it is playing in a large and well thought out universe which gives the story a credible background and makes you yearn to get to know more about the world of Iron Man Project. So an allover thumbs up for this book!
