I am Armor. I am Fury. I Will not Fail.

Their deeds are legend, their reputation feared by the enemies of Earth and her allies, but how the Corps forges young men and women into mighty warriors is shrouded by mystery.
Roland Shaw lost his parents to war, he volunteers for the Armor Corps to honor their memory and discover just how far he can push himself. To succeed, he must find the iron in his heart and prove himself worthy to the Corps. For the Amor, there is no substitute for victory and to fail is to die.

I am armor.
I will not fail.
Pretty good start to a Gundam like universe, wherein instead of tanks, we have big tank robots(??).
I like science fiction that makes humanity the least among the interstellar races, then slowly build them up due to their perseverance and ingenuity plus their willingness to go to war.
Mr. Fox has a lot of books, but I like this one among the others, actually this is my first time reading his work, I chose this series because of mecha (hopefully) and the armor contingent, the armour contigent in any battle is the hammer(at least I think), they are deployed as a last resort, either to protect or act as a spearhead to breach any stalemated battleground(tales of WWII, panzer division, General Patton's mobile heavy units), and the story is quite exciting, a lot of stellar races, which are flying above my head, a lot of unknowns, but little by little, I hope to piece together the puzzle. Very, very good first book.
An interesting story that left me curious as to what would happen next... despite near constant disappointment with poor military tactics and culture. Editing and continuity issues abound. Societal memory doesn't change as fast as the author seems to think it does.
The book is basically Enders Game with mecha
