This is not just another ‘brilliant inventor in flying armor‘ yarn. Yes, the main character is a genius engineer with a personal battle suit, but he is no billionaire. Also, he is a black man in America. In this case that ethnicity is important, as most of the cast are folks of color, and this book courageously and tactfully explores race in modern society. This perspective gives the story many novel avenues for dramatic tensions. Very timely!
