Armor
Author: John Steakley
Body armor has been devised for the commando forces that are to be dropped on Banshee-the home of the most implacable of humanity's enemies. A trooper in this armor is a one-man, atomic-powered battle fortress, but he will have to fight a nearly endless horde of berserk, hard-shelled monsters.

Great ground based battle book. One man against an entire planet. It isn't the way he planned it, it is just the way it turned out. Too bad the author hasn't written anything else like this.

The only irritation about this book is the author interleaved two different story lines that only come to gether at the end of the book. My suggestion is to read the chapters about the Ants first - these stand quite well on their own - then if you want go back and read the skipped chapters.
