Synopsis

The Brick was an inhospitable planet in Finjou space. Humans settled there anyway, and now the aliens want them gone. Captain Xi Bao, your orders are to conduct Operation Red Rock. Evacuate the human colonists from the Brick before the Finjou find them. Collect material evidence of the Jemmin conspiracy buried more than thirty kilometers below the surface. Easy mission. But the colonists don’t want to leave. And the Finjou don’t want the humans boring a hole in their dead planet. And everyone has nukes. Metal Legion gets thrown into the middle of an intergalactic cesspool. Make the humans evacuate. Peacefully. Using the awe-inspiring firepower of the mechs. Make peace with the aliens, even if you have to fight them. The Finjou aren’t amused—they're predators who believe in dominance.

Goodreads review by Pei-jean on January 29, 2022

I don’t usually read books dealing with the harsh treatment of POWs by the Japanese during WWII because the few pictures I’ve seen of emaciated prisoners in the jungles of South East Asia is another one of those that are deeply confronting and upsetting. That said I found myself unable to put this d......more

I couldn’t get this in the UK so bought it from Aus. I couldn’t wait to start when it arrived.
