They went to war as soldiers. They came back as brothers. But when the system they fought for betrays them, loyalty becomes their last weapon. Echo Unit was built from broken men — a reluctant captain, a rebellious sergeant, a quiet strategist, a wisecracking soul, and a young recruit with everything to prove. Together, they form one of the most lethal special operations teams in modern warfare. Deployed into a war that no longer makes sense, Echo Unit faces the brutality of combat and the corruption festering inside their own command. When a mission turns into a massacre and the truth is buried, they are marked as traitors and forced to survive behind enemy lines — abandoned, disavowed, and hunted. But in the smoke and blood of a collapsing system, brotherhood becomes their only compass. Each man must face his own demons — guilt, fear, betrayal — while holding the line for the only thing that still feels pure: each other. Years later, when the truth threatens to resurface, the surviving brothers reunite for one last mission — not for orders, not for glory, but for honor. From the trenches of betrayal to the ashes of redemption, Iron Bonds is a powerful tale of courage, sacrifice, and the unbreakable strength of men who refused to die forgotten. It’s not just a war story. It’s a story about what survives after the war.
