Summary
New military fantasy from the creator of Monster Hunter International, Larry Correia, and master of horror Steve Diamond.
The war between Almacia and the Empire of Kolakolvia is in its hundredth year. Casualties grow on both sides as the conflict leaves no corner of the world untouched.
Illarion Glaskov’s quiet life on the fringes of the empire is thrown into chaos when an impossible tragedy strikes his village. When he is conscripted into the Tsarist military, he is sent to serve in The Wall - an elite regiment that pilots suits of armor made from the husks of dead golems.
But the great war is not the only - or even the worst - danger facing Illarion, as he is caught in a millennia-old conflict between two goddesses. He must survive the ravages of trench warfare, horrific monsters from another world, and the treacherous internal politics of the country he serves.
At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).
Larry Correia is the Dragon Award-winning, best-selling author of the Monster Hunter International series, the Saga of the Forgotten Warrior series, the Grimnoir Chronicles, and the Dead Six series of military thrillers.
Steve Diamond founded and runs the review site Elitist Book Reviews, which was nominated for the Hugo Award in 2013, 2014, and 2015. He writes for Ragnarok, Baen, Privateer Press, and numerous small publications. He is also the editor of the horror anthology Shared Nightmares.

Brilliant
It took a while for me to get into this book but I am glad I kept going with it. The longer the book goes on, the more engrossed I became until I was absolutely fascinated with where the story was going. It really was one of the most intriguing and original fantasy books I have come across in quite some time.
Set in another world where humans unwittingly crossed into generations ago and have settled there for so long that the old world has become almost a legend to them. The new world is dominated by two waring nations fighting after the magical secrets of a fortified city nation caught in the middle. The world is a take on tsarist/communist Russia, with all the authoritarianism, paranoia and propaganda folded neatly into a war story involving magical mechanised suits, golems and ancient fairy gods.
The characters develop nicely along the progress of the story and you truly begin to care what happens to them... even the bad guys. The narration is top class, with a variety of accents and tones to differentiate the various different characters. What sets this book apart is the action/war scenes... They are engrossing and entertaining.
A great read.

100% enjoyable
An excellent story, read by a great narrator, Grippiung characters and a story that moves at a great pace. I was disappointed when it ended, now I have to wait for the next book :(
