Iron Sentry: Blood on the Vanguard
By @Maciek Suchta
At nineteen, Maćek Suchta has only known survival on the unforgiving streets of Poland, a harsh existence that carved his mind into a hyper-analytical instrument. Diagnosed with Asperger's, he perceives the chaos of war not as terror, but as a complex system of vectors and probabilities. When the military drafts him into an elite, high-casualty vanguard unit, his precision-engineered mind becomes their greatest weapon—and his deepest curse. Marked by a full-sleeve tattoo of Japanese samurai masks on his right arm, he is a silent specter on the battlefield. But behind his calculated efficiency lies a desperate, unaligned soul seeking the family he never had. When his unit is deployed to hold a crumbling front line against an overwhelming, technologically superior adversary, Maćek must calculate the cost of human lives. To save his brothers-in-arms, he must decide whether to remain a cold, unfeeling machine or embrace the messy, lethal humanity that threatens to break him.
