Title: Mr. Steakly has written an extrordinary novel.
Review: When I first saw the book, I knew that I would have to read it just on the principals that it looked like good Science Fiction. When I actually obtained a copy I could not put it down. I would have to say that the story matter is very similar to "Starship Troopers", however it is approaced very differently. While "Starship Troopers" dealt with more philosophical and political issues, the underlying story of "Armor" is that of a tragedy. The hero of the book is born and bred to lead. However, he does not want any of that but fate keeps throwing it in his face. Time and time again he is put in situations that mean certain death but somehow his skills allow him to survive. I was really interested in how he described his mind when it came time to fight, how the "Machine" took over and how his true personality was just an observer. I highly recommend this book. It is an excellent read.
