Well I've been wondering what to say about Armor. Its a scifi novel its true, but its a novel that could have been just as easily set during Vietnam or World War II, or the American Civil War or any great and momentous conflict of our time or of history. Indeed other books have been written along th...
extended metaphor for western identity in a communities and relationship oriented world? or just good space opera? sci-fi classic armor . quite obviously vietnam war metaphor. (khe sanh and dien bien phu) but Steakley was in university during the war. ha! talk about confounded expectations.so, just...

When Felix's team is wiped out on their first mission, only The Engine, his second personality, saves him. Can Felix (and the Engine) survive the war against the Ants? And does he want to...? I...
I can't give this more than three stars, I wanted to like it but it would go from high action to men crying about the cause and high angst with daytime drama dialogue. Cut out some of Crow's bravado, the gunman's sniveling self-absorption and the hokey love at first site mess and this would make a...
