I enjoyed seeing more of the personality of the two main characters, Rutger Shaw and Taryn di la Rovissi. They are the unlikely Duo seen in many an action film/story. My main issue was I could not care about the over arching plot at all. I finished the novella in hopes it would swing around but I guess this story wasn't for me.

-Side rant-
A downside to the Iron Kingdom's universe is that no named character in the fiction is ever in any real danger, they can't die. No matter how insane the danger they will survive. If the author created the character then they can die, however anyone from the the main universe is forever safe. It takes away all tension so I hope that in the future more non canon characters appear so that plot immunity isn't there.

The novel introduces Rutger Shaw and his partner a female gun mage who take mercenary contracts to pay the bills. They also pick up a warjack along the way named Rex. The two would be a very profitable duo if Rutger wasn't such a softy at heart trying to help people. This inevitably draws them into bigger fights than they can handle and adventure ensues. This book follows them as they take on a contract to protect an important diplomat whose secrets have attracted the ire of some rather powerful and evil individuals.

I've been pretty pumped about the new books coming out about the Iron Kingdoms, so I eagerly downloaded Moving Targets and tore into it.

It's an entertaining book that reminds me of a summer blockbuster movie where the action keeps going as the main characters are hunted from one dangerous situation to the next. It's not exactly high literature, but then again it's not meant to be. It's a fun book about two Merc characters that I had never really thought about but am now considering adding them to my Warmachine force. The backdrop of the Khador invasion of Llael is dramatic and believable and the relationship between Taryn and Rutger is portrayed with a good mix of tenderness and the kind of ribbing only good friends enjoy.

If you are interested in the Iron Kingdoms, it's a good book to pick up and a comfortable length for a bubblegum novel.

I've been reading quite a few of the stories from the Iron Kingdoms doing research on the setting. This book by far is the best example of how mercenaries in this world work. I highly recommend this book no matter if you play the RPG, the table top, or both. This will give you great insight into the workings of this setting.

Exiles in Arms: Moving Targets is a great starting point for anyone interested in exploring the Iron Kingdoms without delving into a stack of rulebooks and No Quarter Magazine fiction. While the author assumes a certain knowledge of the setting, he also includes a handy glossary of terms to help the reader along. Almost from the beginning there is a feeling of cinematic action that is akin to the 2001 The Mummy Returns. Complete with river pirates seeking to profit from the downfall of a country, and a train steaming down the tracks the story focuses on the long standing iconic characters (in the eyes of pre-existing fans of the Iron Kingdoms RPG) Rutger Shaw, a former Cygnaran military man, and Taryn di la Rovissi, a disenchanted and pragmatic gun mage. Even the casual reader will quickly come to enjoy and cheer for the rough and tumble pair to succeed. Top the story with Warjacks, effectively steam powered robots, Gatormen, and a surly villain you will love to hate and you have the makings of high adventure from one side of the Iron Kingdoms to the other.

All told, I only had one real complaint. There were times that the story advance rather abruptly. I was left temporarily confused as I pieced together the passage of time. The segments could have been divided better. Besides that issue, I eagerly anticipate the next installment.

I am new to the Iron Kingdom universe but I find the world premis to be really well done. This story was really a very enjoyable read that got me to look at the rest of the works based on this setting. The author has done an excellent job of drawing me into his tale and I burned through this book in just a couple of days.

I loved it. The novella was fun and had enough action and intrigue to keep me turning pages going "what's next!" Without a doubt, I'd recommend it if you're looking for a quick read, and want something with action, twists and turns!

The perfect story to introduce someone to the Iron Kingdoms; a fun, non-stop romp through Cygnar following the mercenaries Rutger Shaw and Taryn di le Rovissi. The story manages to hit most of the major themes of the setting, mechanika, warjacks, warlocks and gun mages, without getting bogged down in references that would be missed by a new fan. Whether you're a fan of Warmachine looking to read more lore or a newcomer to the setting, Moving Targets delivers.
