Cry pilot by joel dane6/20/2023 ![]() ![]() Due to his past status as a refugee he is barred from joining the military, but being resourceful, he manages to find a way. Our protagonist Maseo Kaytu is a cry pilot. It’s extremely dangerous, and casualty rates are high. In response to this threat, the corporate military has turned to churning out legions of soldiers including a “cry pilots”, a specialized class of fighter trained to control AI-operated mecha-like machines designed to combat a new foe known as lampreys. ![]() However, in order to terraform the planet in the wake of such appalling destruction, the clean-up process has also reawakened these biological horrors, now gone rogue. The novel transports readers to a bleak, future Earth devastated by large-scale war fought by dangerous, high-tech bioweapons. It’s been getting a ton of praise from other reviewers though, so I’m just going to be chalking this one up to another case of “it’s not the book, it’s me.” After all, military sci-fi can be such a tricky genre, and there were certain aspects of this one that that failed to make this one my cup of tea. I wanted to like Cry Pilot, I really did. This does not affect the contents of my review and all opinions are my own. I received a review copy from the publisher. ![]()
