His teammates are just as battered, and collectively they see the writing on the wall—retirement or desk jobs in Virginia. But when an unexpected by-name request pulls them into a black ops program, Kelly and his squad are offered an opportunity they can’t pass up. He expects to be suiting up in DARPA-style exosuits that make operators stronger, faster, and deadlier. Instead, he and his team are fitted to pilot \u003cem\u003eRemotes\u003c\/em\u003e—eight-foot-tall, combat robots controlled via haptic suits. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat begins as disappointment quickly morphs to exhilaration.
