Felix is an Earth soldier, encasesd in special body armour designed to withstand Earth's most implacable enemy - a bioengineered, insectoid alien horde. But Felix is also equipped with internal mechanisms that enable him and his fellow soldiers to survive battle situations that would destroy a man's mind. This is a remarkable novel of the horror, the courage and the aftermath of combat - and how the strength of the human spirit can be the greatest armour of all.

Review:
Praise for Armor "Armor is a fascinating war-story, a unique take on the military SF genre.... Well worth a read."--Jamie Sawyer, author of The Lazarus War series "This is a serious book which shows the violence and brutality of war, the cynicism and hypocrisy with which it is waged, and the real and terrible fears of the combatants." --VOYA
"The book is gripping, forceful, and compelling. The evolution of the characters is a tour-de-force." --Kliatt
"Well-worth reading." --Analog
"Steakley's writing is quite good. He has smoothness and polish that are rare in first novels.... the action is so well-paced that the reader's interest is continually held." --Other Realms
"This book is a must read.... It's one of those stories where the author understood the human heart and soul so much that there could never be a complete adaptation in any other medium." --Bleeding Edge Gaming
