The Bio-Mech War, Book 4: Stripe Islands

THE BIO-MECH WAR An existential war between biologicals and mechs. In the near future, scientists discover a flickering artificial sun headed towards Earth. Code named "Deimos", this alien threat becomes the impetus for a massive outworld colonization program, the creation of an army of mechs to defend the planet, and a bioengineering initiative to adapt the human race to survive the apocalypse. All of these projects are kept secret from the civilian population, including the orphan Junior Rangers they depend upon. Book 1. Orphan Rangers Book 2. Clone Pods Book 3. Space Turtles Book 4.
