Author M.D. Cooper brings us a different view of his universe through the eyes of Rika. She was once a street rat on one of the worlds under the Genevian government but was picked up for taking some food. She was turned into a scout mech with very little of her original body intact. She and her three mech team Hammerfall are on a planet in the Genevian Federation which is being attacked by their enemies and are tasked with stopping them while getting to the evacuation point. This is great short read and reminded me of Battletech but I will be looking forward to reading the next book the series and I do highly recommend it to all science fiction fans.
