Re: [SGII] Alien seed

"Armor" is kind of "Starship Troopers" but with psychological insights 
instead of political ones.

>"Armor". It's a book by John Steakley. The armour in question (spelled
"Armor" because he's an American author) is a set of scout armour,
basically a form of fast power armour. The novel starts with a single
character dropped on an alien world to fight "ants". They look vaguely
like ants (though they aren't insectoid, if I remember correctly),
operate with a hive mind, and overwhelm their enemies with numbers. The
novel then changes point of view and takes you to an entirely different
location in the same universe, but the "armour" shows up again.

hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of
our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are
willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we
intend to win, and the others, too.
