Big Boys Don't Cry

BIG BOYS DON'T CRY is a novella by LTC Tom Kratman, U.S. Army (Ret.), known for A DESERT CALLED PEACE and his Carrera series. The story follows the life cycle of a Ratha, a sentient future supertank that dutifully fights Man's battles on dozens of alien worlds. But will the massive creature still be grateful to its creators when it discovers it has a conscience? And how long will an intelligent war machine with enough firepower to flatten a city be content to remain Man's obedient slave? DRM-free.

LTC Kratman served with the 101st Airborne Division, the 193rd Infantry Brigade, the 24th Infantry Division, and the 5th Special Forces Group. He also served as a director of the U.S. Army War College.
