DESCRIPTION:
Stone Dog said Solid, enjoyable sci-fi.. Vandyke and Larson have given us a really good sci-fi work in "Starship Liberator". The technologically superior humans of the Hundred Worlds face off against the implacable, brutal and reptilian "Hok". Humanity must battle for survival against a savage foe, pitting their technologically invincible "mechsuiters" against the multitudes of cannon-fodder Hok.But, is everything as it seems? Elite warrior Derek Straker, a genetically-enhanced pilot of an invincible mechanical suit never questions the war he's fightinguntil he's captured by the Hok enemy.

A genetically enhanced mechsuit warrior is sent into the middle of a war that turns out to have three unequal sides. He and his friends assemble a band to try t
The long war has transformed the Hundred Worlds into heavily fortified star systems. Assault Captain Derek Straker is one such man among many. Their economies are geared for military output, and they raise specialized soldiers to save our species. With Lieutenant Carla Engels piloting, Starship Liberator explores enemy territory in search of answers.. From Hugo Award finalist David VanDyke and million-selling science-fiction legend B.V. It's a battle in which he'll never admit defeat, but not even Straker knows the dark truth behind this titanic struggle. The human worlds are strong, but the Hok have the resources of a thousand planets behind them, and their fleets attack in endle
