Hull Metal Girls by Emily Skrutskie follows the stories of two young people that have entered the governments elite fighting force. One joined because she saw it as the last hope for saving her family. The other does not know why she is there. Her memories have lots of holes. When a person joins the elite force, they give up their individualism as their bodies are melded together with a computerized exoskeleton. Not everyone survives the melding process, but those who do relinquish their ability to act independently from the others. This creates a very interesting story line as our protagonists begin to question whether the government truly has what is best for the people as their priority.
