|
||
|
|
When the alien Gitai invade, Keiji Kiriya is just one of many raw recruits
|
||
|
|
shoved into a suit of battle armor and sent out to kill. Keiji dies on the
|
||
|
|
battlefield, only to find himself reborn each morning to fight and die again
|
||
|
|
and again. On the 158th iteration though, he sees something different,
|
||
|
|
something out of place: the female soldier known as the Bitch of War. Is the
|
||
|
|
Bitch the key to Keiji’s escape, or to his final death?</p>

★★★★☆

|
<p>I admit I got this book because of "Edge of Tomorrow", which I watched before
|
||
|
|
reading the book. As usual, only the concept of the story is the same in both.
|
||
|
|
Apart from "soldier keeps repeating the same day over and over again due alien
|
||
|
|
technology", there is absolutely nothing in common with the movie.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The story starts slowly, mostly because Keiji Kiriya is still a fresh guy. But
|
||
|
|
he still kills one special alien and gains temporal superpowers. When that
|
||
|
|
happens, the story picks up and it's really hard to drop it. Then the story
|
||
|
|
stops to tell the backstory of Rita Vrataski and the pace drops a bit; then it
|
||
|
|
goes back to the fight and it picks up again. That's probably how I read this
|
||
|
|
thing so fast.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>In a way, the book is more brutal than the movie, as much as "Jarhead" the
|
||
|
|
book is more brutal than "Jarhead" the movie. Also, the explanation for the
|
||
|
|
"time travel" -- which in the book is no time travel at all, being much more
|
||
|
|
akin to the way Kitty Pride sends people in the time in "X-Men: Days of Future
|
||
|
|
Past" -- seems much more plausible than the movie.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>It is a short but interesting story, nonetheless.</p>
