3.5

In the small space, meaning there are only 150 pages, the author introduces us to an inexperienced leader, a trap, and ultimately a traitor. What I find interesting is how and why the traitor became a traitor. Being inside an exoskeletons doesn't mean the lost of humanity.  And there is the horror of what a society will do to maintain their power, their supremacy.

Maybe the author will expand the novella into a complete novel.
