Mr. Beedell, Roke Julian Lockhart wants to read Medic! by Ian Harac
The apocalypse came, the apocalypse went, and now there is nothing left but mad robots, …
Per reddit.com/r/TheForeverWinter/comments/1gf1yr7/comment/luejrqj:
Ian Harac's 2012 novel Medic! to the extent that I'm actually suspicious that Forever Winter might be a deliberate lawyer-friendly homage.
An originally cyberpunk world deteriorated into an endless apocalyptic war with all human commanding officers dead in the first strike leaving the military planning AIs now running their factions unleashed without anyone left with the authority to tell them to stop? Armies made up of von neumann killbots and humans pressganged by the AIs through doling out what little supplies remain to victorious mercenaries or forcible cybernetic implants? A malfunctioning damaged battlefield medic robotic autodoc which has modified itself with scavenged weaponry from derelict killbots and uses victims as raw materials and spare parts? And in the trailers if not the game proper yet, a character who's a rudimentary cyborg with their head replace by a swivel-mounted gun?
Medic! has them all too.
