Warbots #2
Operation Steel Band
Into a world on the brink of chaos comes a bold new breed of warrior!
Part-human, part-machine, they are the WARBOTS, America's awesome first-line of defense in a volatile future. Indestructible armored giants with computer minds inseparably linked to the brainwaves of their human masters, they bring an explosive new brand of technological warfare to the deadly battlefields of the 21st century!
With the help of a treacherous alliance of left-wing South American states, renegade U.S. Army officer Austin Drake has siezed control of the island of Trinidad and its vast petroleum resources. And as Drake's engineers begin construction on an ultra-modern space weapons launching facility, Captain Curt Carson's Robot Infantry springs into action. Battling hostile terrain and corrosive environmental conditions, only the Warbots can halt a madman's deadly power-play as they race against time to obliterate a terrifying threat to global security that looms on America's doorstep!

Revisiting as an Adult
Read this when I was 10 in the early 90’s.
Interesting to reread as an adult in 2025.
Drones and AI have come along way.
