She suffers incredible damage while trying to defend another Ratha, and while being assessed back at a workshop for scrap or salvage, she thinks back to some of her earlier campaigns. Due to the damage, she remembers being "created" in a AI training facility, and the pain they inflicted on her to get her to become an unthinking, unfeeling killing machine. As much as I love the premise (and the ending), I feel it's uneven. Sentient battle tanks slug it out with alien menaces from beyond the stars. Great descriptions of hardware, how the sentient tanks use it, how they work together, destruction raining down as titans unleashed primal powers in furious battles, Maggie's training and her views. Was this review helpful to you? At least not the way it's done here.Magnolia, a.k.a, Maggie, is a sentient military supertank created by humans.
On the other hand, his knowledge of physics is really badly lacking. But the story's real power comes in the second half of the book, when Maggie begins accessing her deeper memories that had been locked away until now. It hit just the right technical and tactical notes and the action zipped.
I don't want to give anything away, so I'lThis is the first thing I've read from Kratman, except for posts on Facebook and various blogs. Damaged beyond repair during the last battle, Maggie is inspected by officers who deem her salvageable for parts only. Her kind, the Ratha, first fought in the Nighean Ruadh War (AD 2289-2402) alongside humans, but the Ratha, with the aid of drones, eventually replaced all humans on the ground. Therefore, I will neither review nor rating Big Boys Don’t Cry as I don’t believe that I have the necessary experience or skill to do so.Magnolia, a.k.a. We meet Maggie when she's been irrecoverably damaged and will be dismantled for parts, and we learn her story, and Earth's, as she sorts through her memories. In one place, he describes antimatter mines which are able to harm the tanks described in the story through the thinner armor plating at the bottom. Men’s #mentalhealth book sharing stories, advice & encouraging more men to open up, not man up. Searching for words - sometimes while using idioms a newly born battle machine from future has no reason to recognize - just isn't a very good way of verbalising awakening of consciousness.

She forms emotional bonds with her crew, but as the crew dies, injures and finally retires, human contact gets more and more inhuman and Maggie finds herself manned by dumb drones. I don't want to give anything away, so I'll just say it'll leave you shocked, a bit sickened, and deep in thought.I wish I had been reading this somewhere more private because I was working hard to hold back tears, but I couldn't put it down. Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account. Though I would still like a novel length treatment of this would to see some of the complexities and other plots only hinted at here.An interesting story, although it seems far too short, and in need of a sequel. This has the elegant simplicity of a short story structure though it's novella length and I don't usually prefer short stories.
It's more than that, it's a story of the abuse of the armed forces by the whims of the Senate. Kratman manages to create an AI who is in fact more human than her human masters. As much as I love the premise (and the ending), I feel it's uneven.
Big Boys Don't Cry is a novella from military science fiction author Tom Kratman, known for A Desert Called Peace and his Carrera series.
I can't say I *enjoyed* it so much as I suffered through the story along with the main character as she recounts her life and realizes some terrible truths in the process. Glad I did - this novella was pretty awesome. Kratman manages to create an AI who is in fact more human than her human masters.
