Dead Men Walking by Steve Lyons
4.0
Good story. The big overall plot ends about 3 chapters before the end of the book, so those chapters kind of drag on a little, but that doesn't ruin the story at all. It's like 3 chapters of what happens afterwards.
The book centers around a planet that unknowingly unearths a Necron tomb underneath their city (think Terminator, but it's an entire army lol). The rest of the book is about two groups of Humans fighting against the Necrons: The military which includes soldiers native to the planet and from a different planet called Krieg, and also civilians who get wrapped up in the conflict. There's a small sub plot about love existing across social classes (nobility vs commoner) that operates as a big motivation for these civilians to keep pushing. For the military, it's a nameless and statistical battle to be won. The Krieg don't care who they have to sacrifice as long as it wins the day...
