William Mandella is a soldier in Earth's elite brigade. As the war against the Taurans sends him from galaxy to galaxy, he learns to use protective body shells and sophisticated weapons. He adapts to the cultures and terrains of distant outposts. But with each month in space, years are passing on Earth. Where will he call home when (and if) the Forever War ends?

Historia
After seven years of bitter war, the end has come at last for the conflict known infamously as the Horus Heresy. Terra now lies within the Warmaster’s sights, the Throneworld and the seat of his father’s rule. Horus’ desire is nothing less than the death of the Emperor of Mankind and the utter subjugation of the Imperium. He has become the ascendant vessel of Chaos and amassed a terrible army with which to enact his will and vengeance. But the way to the Throne will be hard as the primarch Rogal Dorn, the Praetorian and protector of Terra, marshals the defences.

Historia
The year is 2108, and the North American Commonwealth is bursting at the seams. For welfare rats like Andrew Grayson, there are only two ways out of the crime-ridden and filthy welfare tenements: You can hope to win the lottery and draw a ticket on a colony ship settling off-world...or you can join the service. With the colony lottery a pipe dream, Andrew chooses to enlist in the armed forces for a shot at real food, a retirement bonus, and maybe a ticket off Earth.

Suppose there really were vampires. Dark, stalking, destroying. They’d have to be killed, wouldn’t they? Of course they would. But what kind of fools would try to make a living at it? In best-selling author John Steakley's vampire classic, one tightly knit band of brothers devotes itself to hunting down the monsters that infest the modern world—for a price.

Historia
We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

Thomas Covenant is a leper, a bitter and solitary pariah who is mystically transported to another Earth where time moves differently than ours, one in which magic takes many forms. The Land is threatened by many evils, the most immediate of which is a maddened Cavewight whose subterranean excavations have unearthed the ancient and puissant Staff of Law. More dangerous to the free people of the Land is the Gray Slayer, Lord Foul, the Despiser, who intends to destroy the actual foundations of the Earth that he might wage war against the universe’s creator.

Aliens exist...and, as it turns out, most of them aren’t that friendly. Jacob Brown wasn’t even born yet the first time they attacked Earth. He was only 14 the second time it happened. When Earth finally came together and fielded its first spaceborne military, Jacob didn’t hesitate to volunteer. Serving aboard a mighty starship, he’d be able to defend his planet - and his family - when, inevitably, they came again.

The Alliance has been fighting the Syndics for a century—and losing badly. Now its fleet is crippled and stranded in enemy territory. Their only hope is a man who’s emerged from a century-long hibernation to find he has been heroically idealized beyond belief… Captain John “Black Jack” Geary’s legendary exploits are known to every schoolchild. Revered for his heroic “last stand” in the early days of the war, he was presumed dead. But a century later, Geary miraculously returns from survival hibernation.

John Perry did two things on his 75th birthday. First he visited his wife's grave. Then he joined the army. The good news is that humanity finally made it into interstellar space. The bad news is that planets fit to live on are scarce—and alien races willing to fight us for them are common. So: we fight. To defend Earth, and to stake our own claim to planetary real estate. Far from Earth, the war has been going on for decades: brutal, bloody, unyielding. Earth itself is a backwater.

For a thousand years the ash fell and no flowers bloomed. For a thousand years the Skaa slaved in misery and lived in fear. For a thousand years the Lord Ruler, the "Sliver of Infinity," reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror, divinely invincible. Then, when hope was so long lost that not even its memory remained, a terribly scarred, heart-broken half-Skaa rediscovered it in the depths of the Lord Ruler's most hellish prison.

The war against the vampires has taken its toll; cities lie in ruin, the countryside is fragmented into small villages and fiefdoms that still struggle against nightly raids by the fallen vampires - and the remnants of their genetically manufactured demons and werewolves.

Resumen del Editor
Felix is a scout in A-team Two. Highly competent, he is the sole survivor of mission after mission. Yet he is a man consumed by fear and hatred. And he is protected not only by his custom-fitted body armor, the culmination of 10,000 years of the armorers' craft, but also by an odd being which seems to live with him, a cold killing machine he calls "the Engine."

In the 20th century Earth sent probes, transmissions, and welcoming messages to the stars. Unfortunately, someone noticed. The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast Empire. Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn't the only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to trade, something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned credits to buy. As most of the local worlds were too civilized to have a proper army, the only valuable service Earth could provide came in the form of soldiers....

The Glorious Fool isn't misnamed; it likes to get into trouble, so much so that one year of security work under its captain is equal to five years everywhere else. With odds like that, Devi knows she's found the perfect way to get the jump on the next part of her plan.

Mysterious blackouts left Kira with precious few memories of events in her life, never mind those worth sharing. Somewhere in those blank spots she acquired skills - skills she was hard pressed to explain. But those skills got her a job as the new navigator for the Rented Mule, a transport ship that plied the Rim Systems at the very edge of human civilization.

Historia
In the 25th century, humankind has spread throughout the galaxy, monitored by the watchful eye of the U.N. While divisions in race, religion, and class still exist, advances in technology have redefined life itself. Now, assuming one can afford the expensive procedure, a person's consciousness can be stored in a cortical stack at the base of the brain and easily downloaded into a new body (or "sleeve") making death nothing more than a minor blip on a screen.

He didn't ask for it, he doesn't want it, and there's no worse choice to wield it in all of space, but if he doesn't, everyone's totally screwed. The evil Praxis kingdom is on the cusp of having every star system under its control, and if that happens, there'll be no contesting their cruel reign.

Take the time - its a great ride
This is a different take on the military adventure and little to do with celebration of violence - an interesting a well structured tale with a couple of twists you don't see coming. Its a long tale and if you dip into it only occasionally you might lose the storyline but unlike some other reviewers I had no difficulty following the threads. In fact the separation of the two main storylines and the manner in which they come together are both intriguing and satisfying. The book also benefits from a title chosen as much for its context as its saleability. Themes explore more than one kind of 'armour' than the hardware which is the obvious reference, and the capabilities of that piece of equipment are coloured by more than a celebration of destructive potential. The characters are thoughfully drawn and shaded and I enjoyed this tale greatly. Its a piece with enough detail and consideration to warrant several listenings and I rate it fairly high on a scale of worthy action-adventure sci-fi tales. Clearly well worth the cost of the download, any hooray its NOT a trilogy! Enjoy.

Recommended for fans of military sci fi
Once upon a time I used to think I read star wars books and thought I was a sci fi fan. This was the first book that really launched me into the science fiction genre. I had no idea what I was missing. This book really is an excellent read and I suggest it to anyone. From here I went on to broaden my horizons and read the classics, and contemporary sci fi, but I still have a soft spot for this book.
Highly recommended for fans of military sci fi

powered armor infantry versus the evil bug aliens
I remember loving this book when I discovered it in the library as a teenager, and I still find it quite enjoyable 18 years later. The parts with Felix in armor are great; the other "half" of the story is entertaining enough to wade through to the good parts. It was memorable enough 18 years ago that I happened to be searching for it on Audible a day or so after it became available.
I'm sure hardly a review goes by without some comparison to Heinlen's Starship Troopers (the book, obviously, not the awful mess Hollywood made). I find the two books similar, even to having to wade through half the book to get to the good parts, but they are different enough to have them both be quite enjoyable. It's a sort of mini-genre of powered armor infantry versus the evil bug aliens. (Actually, I guess it's not so mini, anymore -- there are countless video games, like Halo, based on this genre.)
The narrator on this audio book is good too -- although his whiskey-and-cigarettes growl is great for Felix and the fighting men, it does get a little silly when he stretches it for the female voices.

Great!
Great book and an outstanding performance by reader. Follows the story of a soldier that refuses to die and a charming space pirate who betrays without thought.

Epitome of a great sci-fi adventure.
If you could sum up Armor in three words, what would they be?
Hostile
Hopeless
Hell
Who was your favorite character and why?
Capt. Jack Crow, because even tho Felix has the engine he never got the girls.
What does Tom Weiner bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Brought the characters a feel of their own more than the voices in my head could do, especially for Felix.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I laughed, but more than any other feeling you feel how pissed off Felix situation would make you feel. The inescapable feeling of dead ends and no where to go.
Any additional comments?
I want to be a scout just like felix when I grow up !

An audio book that slow burns into a pyre
I started this audio book unsure of what to expect; was it a cheap older sci-fi or a rip of starship troopers? Yet add I moved through the beginning in to the later parts I became enthralled. The build up was slow and strong, yet was wonderfully flowed together. Everything I expected yet I was still surprised at moments. The narration kept me where I needed to be, even if I did not know what that meant or was in conflict with what I thought should be. Very entertaining yet very enjoyable. If you are looking for an enjoyable audio book in the vein of interstellar war, with all the confusion and crisis was can bring, then this audio book is for you.
