Beyond Enemies

De: Marisa Wolf

Narrado por: Morgan Hallett

An assignment on a backwater world turns deadly for a combat vet and her AI tank. Military SF with heart and humor from up-and-coming author Marisa Wolf.

Sometimes the only way forward is to burn it all down.

Talinn Reaze and Bee serve as “Breezy,” part of the United Colonial Force’s elite Artificial Intelligence Troops. Trained for full integration since before Talinn’s birth, they exceeded expectations and became one of the premier heavy tanks, leading assaults on several fronts of the long war against the Interstellar Defense Corps.

When they’re thrown to a backwater base without cause, boredom becomes their main enemy—until the world falls out from under their treads and they begin to question everything they’ve ever known.

As they orient to their new reality, they have a decision to make: Uphold the status quo, or risk burning civilization to the ground?

Talinn and Bee always did have a fondness for fire.

Wow. Just. Wow.

This review will be difficult for me to codify. Usually, I'm really good at figuring out what's coming and where an author is going with a story.
Not this time. The primary characters were just alien enough, and the action chaotic enough, and the plot twisting enough, that I never managed to get on top of everything to predict where it was going.
Most certainly a wild ride.
Not a spoiler, but the ending is good enough to please a "Human Wave" fan such as myself.
Also, while the ending of this story is properly satisfying if she doesn't want to do more here, she left herself plenty of room to create more in this world. I find that I am anticipating seeing what she will do.
kind if like the protagonist. At very few points could I anticipate her next action.
So.
Do Recommend.
The Bubba likes it.
