I am Armor. I am fury. I will not fail.

Soldiers of the Terran Armor Corps wage war across the stars. Wired into mechanized battle suits, they fight the terrifying battles that must be won, no matter the cost. Their deeds are legend, their reputation feared by the enemies of Earth and her allies, but how the Corps forges young men and women into mighty warriors is shrouded by mystery.

Roland Shaw lost his parents to war; he volunteers for the Armor Corps to honor their memory and discover just how far he can push himself. To succeed, he must find the iron in his heart and prove himself worthy to the Corps. For the Armor, there is no substitute for victory and to fail is to die.

I would recommend this to any 40k ,Dune or battle tech fan.

Great

Fun Military Scifi Romp

Do you like your heroes big and armed to the teeth, splattered with the blood of xenos foes? then Terran Armor Corps is for you! I f you enjoy the tales of Warhammer 40,000 Astartes, Master Chief, and the Mechwarriors of Battletech you will thoroughly enjoy this tale of interstellar war.

Great book love it

I really like this book, very cool idea to use the perspective of the future

I was hooked from the start

Great first 3 books. I can’t wait for more. Writing was excellent. Luke killed it as always. Good production all around. Now off to books 4-6.

Another Masterpiece

I held out on this series of books because Armor was not my favorite aspect of the saga. Dont misunderstand me, Elias is an amazing character but I always felt Armor were just a touch too OP and arrogant. That said...Ken Hale was equally lucky or unlucky depending on ones view of his experiences. Armor still are arrogant and overpowered, and for all the right reasons. Roland Shaw is a character that finally explores all the mystery surrounding the Armor Corps, and gives us rational insight into such an irrational sacrifice of the most precious commodity humanity has....true born humans. Sure, that's my own opinion but the fact is the most revered soldiers in the Milky Way, can't be grown in tubes. Yet they will defend even procees with their precious blood.

Luke Daniel's performance is superior as with all other books in the series and helps carry the story along at the perfect pace. There was one chapter in book 3 that clearly sounded different from the rest of the books, possibly a new recording device or program, but it passed quickly and could not reduce the rating of his performance.

I guess I saved the best series for last. Time to get on with the story.

Better than the 9 Ember War Books

I loved these first books. If you liked the first part of the Ember War saga you will love the Armor Ciorps too. Much more characterization and a return of old friends from the first 9 books.
Highly recommended.

Best SciFi story in a long time.

This is a great blend of combat story mixed with a universe of bad guys with axes to grind for humans.

I started out slowly

I began this listening to this series with this compilation. It just popped up as a free option, so I gave it a try. I started out unimpressed, but the series has grown on me steadily since, in spite of some annoying quirks of the writer e.g. using the same noun multiple times within a couple sentences. (He gets better.) Now I've listened to most books in the series and I have gotten a great deal of enjoyment and am invested in the characters to the point where I really don't want to get ro the end.

"Klaatu barada nikto"

Really enjoyed your reference to “The Day The Earth Stood Still “
It is my favorite 1950s syfi movie. Gort appreciates it also. Your alien names and worlds are fascinating. Storytelling is very interesting and appealing.
