Interesting premise and setting but just boring execution.

I didn't feel engaged in the story at all or really care about any characters. The technology was also glossed over and never really explained and used terms that probably showed up in a quick google like when they reference using a SIEM to protect their mech, which is a defensive security tool but doesn't really make sense in the context.

I think if you are interested in the premise you are probably better off reading a book about the actual Nigerian civil war.
