| Plot Summary of Armor |
|---|
"If you liked Starship Troopers and never read Armor then you're missing out. While the plot may seem similar (lots of battles against bug like creatures) the action is so riviting that you'll have a hard time putting this book down. This isn't a book that'll deliver a deep message for the masses, rather it is a great story about a man who joins the army to forget his past. Action scenes are detailed and well scripted. While it might not rank as one of the best books of all time, this is definitely a book you should read."

"A man is set on a poisonous planet Banshee filled with alien creatures called Ants. All his group is killed and he is the only one to survive and then he survives many other drops until he can't take it anymore."
Lani, Resident Scholar

"A futuristic Mechanized Infantryman survives impossible odds against an unrelenting alien race for an uncaringmilitary. Extreme physical and emotional duress create extreme schizophrenia, ironically allowing the body to live while the mind dies."
T.J Pennock, Resident Scholar
