Armored Warfare: Shattered Day

The inferno hidden within machinery: Seid Uli, codename Raven, a Fourth Generation enhanced human and once a legendary mercenary. Forty-six years ago, he fell during a campaign to eliminate him. Now he has been awakened and told that human civilization has only ten months left. On a mining planet named Lukaz, five corporate giants are locked in a bloody conflict over a mysterious crystal called Red Crystal. They have no idea that overmining it will trigger a black hole explosion and destroy the entire human habitat. The Nebula Link Society offers him a choice: infiltrate the war zone and uncover the truth. The price is his body. A severe spinal injury has left him permanently paralyzed. He can only merge with a mecha through a direct neural link system. His guide, Halder Yamer, transmits assignments from orbit, while intelligence agent Canopus Xia weaves a web of information over encrypted channels. Raven descends alone onto the war-torn surface of Lukaz, meeting every battle with coldness and silence. The five corporate giants will not back down. The lure of Red Crystal far outweighs reason. And time is ticking away, one second at a time. This is not a story about a hero's return. It is about a man who died long ago, dragging his broken body and the technology of a bygone era along as he searches for a way to save the living world. Raven never talks about justice. He only says, "I'll see this through." Then he lets flame or ash decide the ending.
