Bloke recruited to be poor woman's Iron Man and goes Starship Trooping.

or

Given that he signs up for the Invulnerable Man program, and is assured he won't have to wear a red S, even though he has seen Batman and Robin, and is not an alcoholic womanising billonaire playboy weapons dealer, this is what he is stuck with.

Besides, given the measly one ton lifting capacity of his suit, an army of alien monsters has a lot more survival than going to toe to toe with the Hulk for even the number of seconds you can count on one hand.

The first half of this novel is one of the greatest SF comicbook hero styled action stories for guys ever written in the history of the universe! An incredibly exciting, often funny, first person hard boiled detective narrative about a covert government agent physically augmented to deal with an invasion of hideous dog aliens, who, unbeknownst to the human population at large, have been harvesting human brains from concocted casualties in areas of human war activity, perhaps for centuries, for their own sinister purposes.
The second half of the novel disappointingly shifts into a talking tank story that bored the snot out of me after the exhilaration of the first part (none of Laumer's Bolo Tank novels for me, I guess ) until the admittedly wild VanVogt styled conclusion.The novel has a very similar structure to Dinosaur Beach, and in that regard is less successful, but the first half is just so awesome, anyone looking cyborg vs. alien combat with great action scenes should pick this book up tomorrow.

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0743435885, Paperback)

A complete novel of science fiction adventure and a host of short novels in one large volume. A Plague of Demons: One man found out the secret behind the aliens who controlled the world, harvesting "dead" soldiers to fight wars on distant worlds-and only he could stop them, if he could keep from getting harvested himself. Thunderhead: An officer has manned an outpost on a lonely planet for years, watching for the alien enemy that may never come, forgotten by the bureaucracy which sent him there-and then the enemy came! Test to Destruction: Aliens are testing a human prisoner to determine how serious a foe the human race might be-and they have chosen the wrong man to Test to Destruction. And much more.
