DELPHINE DESCENDS
After her family is killed and her homeworld occupied, young Kathreen Martin is sent to the distant world of Furoris for re-education. She will live the rest of her life as a serf – to be bought and sold as a commodity of the Imperial Network.
When her only chance of escape is ruined, a chance mistaken identity offers her a new life as the orphaned daughter of a First-Citizen Senator and heiress to a vast fortune.
She vows to claw her way into power to sit among the worlds’ elite. Then, with her own hands, she will reap bloody vengeance on them all.
But to beat them, she must play their game. And she must play it better than them all.
BLACK MILK
Prometheus has the chance to bring his wife back from the dead, but doing so will mean the destruction of Earth.
Spanning time, planets and dimensions, Black Milk draws to a climactic point in a post-apocalyptic future, where humanity, stranded with no planet to call home, fights to survive against a post-human digital entity that pursues them through the depths of space.
Five lives separated by aeons are inextricably linked by Prometheus’s actions:
Ystil.3 is an AI unit sent back in time from the distant future to investigate Prometheus’s discovery...
The mysterious Lydia has devoted her life to finding a planet that the last remaining humans can call home…
Tom Jones (he’s a HUGE fan!) is an AI trapped inside a digital subspace, lost and desperate to find his way back to his beloved in real-time…
Dr Norma Stanwyck is a neuroscientist from 24th Century Earth whose personal choices ripple throughout time...
Prometheus must learn the necessity of death or the entire universe will be swallowed by his grief.

Buy Here: https://amzn.to/3KAGyqI
""Armor"" is a military science fiction novel by John Steakley, published in 1984. The novel explores themes of identity, trauma, and the effects of war on the human psyche through the experiences of its characters.
The story is divided into two interwoven narratives. The first narrative follows Felix, a soldier who becomes part of a military force known as the ""Human Infantry Corps"" (HIC) engaged in a war against an alien insectoid race known as the Ants. The soldiers wear powerful exoskeletal suits of armor that enhance their physical abilities and protect them in combat.
Felix's experiences in the war are depicted in brutal and unflinching detail. The armor provides him with strength and survival capabilities, but it also isolates him emotionally from the horrors of war. Felix becomes a legendary and seemingly invincible figure among his comrades due to his combat prowess and ability to survive battles that others do not.
The second narrative follows Jack Crow, a criminal and deserter who steals an exoskeletal suit of armor and escapes into space to avoid capture. Jack's story is one of desperation and survival as he battles against his own demons and the challenges of life on the fringes of society.
As the novel unfolds, both narratives explore the psychological toll of war and the ways in which the armor—both physical and emotional—can shape and distort one's sense of self. The characters' experiences in combat and their struggles with trauma raise questions about the true costs of heroism and the blurred lines between courage and survival.
""Armor"" delves into the dehumanizing effects of war, the coping mechanisms soldiers develop to endure trauma, and the internal conflicts faced by those who find themselves in the midst of violence. Steakley's narrative weaves action-packed sequences with introspective moments, creating a narrative that is as thought-provoking as it is intense.
The novel's exploration of the psychological impacts of war and its examination of the relationships between identity, fear, and the quest for survival have resonated with readers. ""Armor"" offers a nuanced portrayal of the complexities of warfare and the ways in which individuals adapt to extreme circumstances while grappling with their own inner demons."

From wiki:
A powered exoskeleton, also known as power armor, powered armor, powered suit, cybernetic suit, cybernetic armor, exosuit, hardsuit, exoframe or augmented mobility, is a mobile machine that is wearable over all or part of the human body, providing ergonomic structural support and powered by a system of electric motors, pneumatics, levers, hydraulics or a combination of cybernetic technologies, while allowing for sufficient limb movement with increased strength and endurance. The exoskeleton is designed to provide better mechanical load tolerance, and its control system aims to sense and synchronize with the user's intended motion and relay the signal to motors which manage the gears. The exoskeleton also protects the user's shoulder, waist, back and thigh against overload, and stabilizes movements when lifting and holding heavy items.
A powered exoskeleton differs from a passive exoskeleton, as the latter has no intrinsic actuator and relies completely on the user's own muscles for movements, adding more stress and making the user more prone to fatigue, although it does provide mechanical benefits and protection to the user. This also explains the difference of an exoskeleton to orthotics, as orthosis mainly aims to promote the progressively increased muscle work and, in the best case, regain and improve existing muscle functions.
Powered exoskeletons are featured in science fiction books and media as the standard equipment for space marines, miners, astronauts and colonists.[citation needed] The science fiction novel Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein (1959) is credited with introducing the concept of futuristic military armor.[citation needed] Other examples include Tony Stark's Iron Man suit, the robot exoskeleton used by Ellen Ripley to fight the Xenomorph queen in Aliens[citation needed] and the Power Armor used in the Fallout video game franchise.
