HARM

by Peter Lok

In HARM, mankind is fighting a desperate action to keep the invading aliens at bay and to keep from being exterminated. HARM is set in the future world of Exocrisis Blue where the Alien War has destroyed the old world order. In this new world man shares the Earth with the invaders in an uneasy truce.

This stand-alone story (30+ pages) is all about future robotic warfare with intense mech versus mech battles. You may be left wanting more. All the weapons of the near future battlefield are utilized from autonomous battlefield robots, main battle tanks, powered infantry in exoskeleton battlesuits to unmanned drones. HARM is about the first combat use of giant, humanoid robot, fighting machines called HARMs against the invaders. Can these new humanoid weapons turn the tide of the war?

Reviews

[Sharon Michael · Rating 3 out of 5]

Short story/ prelude to a series by this author, setting the background for the series involving alien invasion of the earth. The aliens have combat robots, forcing the earth based military to develop a human piloted combat robot to combat the threat.

This prelude is fast paced and through the action-oriented combat scenes, the author establishes the background for the coming series.

Interesting short story, entertaining read.
