Hmm. My memory is the exact opposite. I remember little about it, except
for
the fact that the protagonist gets attacked in a grav vehicle and has a
limb
amputated by his suite, and the last battle where they move the stasis
field
generator so that the armed nuke detonates outside of the field. 

I can't remember much else. (I'll have to dig out the game, and maybe
the book.)
