Predator Eyes Of The Demon 77

"No incoming ship warnings," Lewis said. "No air traffic warning. Mercs would have had to land in the ocean, then come onshore and travel at least six kilometers on foot."

On Kivi, even a battle-hardened, fully armed marine wouldn't make it more than a half-kilometer on foot. The Yellabeast's dog-sized ancestor was only one of hundreds of predatorial species. In Kivi's thick jungle-swamps, a soldier stood zero chance. Hundreds of soldiers stood zero chance. Only fully sealed, all-terrain tanks promised any chance of survival, and those gave off signals-if they could traverse bogs where even the plants wanted to eat you.-pg.406 chpt.15
