review 1: This is an anthology featuring stories that all include some sort of powered armor. After reading the description and seeing some of the authors involved, I decided to pick it up. Being a big fan of mecha and military sci fi I was pretty excited. As in any anthology, there are some stories I liked better than others. My main gripe with the book, though, is that the description sets itself up as a military sci fi anthology featuring powered armor, and only a handful of the stories were actually military sci fi. If you want a full book of military sci fi, then this isn't it. If you are looking for some different takes on the theme of power armor, then pick it up.
review 2: This a collection of "power armor" science fiction stories. It is a pretty hit or miss col... morelection at that, but that may be due more to my expectations. I was hoping for a lot of armored battle, and while there were many stories that had that, there were many that did not. While many of those stories are great on their own, it was not what I wanted. So, if you are going to read this book, please keep in mind that not all of the stories have explosions and machine guns. less
