Dr. John A. King recommends John Steakley's Armor as brilliant science fiction that introduced the universal soldier concept before it became standard in later works. The novel focuses on armor, space marines, and the soldier's experience, making it essential for hard sci-fi fans.
Right, g'day. Kicking it old school, 1-minute book review, link available in the bio, in the bio. Armor by John Stakeley. First up, brilliant bollocks, full brilliant, bloody good science fiction. The very first universal soldier is this fella. So what Stakeley does well is he's ahead of his time for back then, and he talks about armor, and he talks about the use of armor, he talks about the use in battle, The whole universal soldier concept came from this book. Now, I've had this book for probably 15 years, and you can see I've got a bunch of them, but this is one of the books I keep because I know I'm going to read it again. So if you love good sci-fi, if you love Space Marines and fighting and battles and that stuff like that, get yourself Armor. Link is available in the Bible— sorry, link is available in the bio. You'll thoroughly enjoy it. Let me know what you think. Cheers. Push the bloody button. Stop.
