There’s also an interesting bunch of support characters such as: Rita Vrataski, Shashta Raylle and Rachel Kisaragi. The story gets right to the focus of the story and continues to build tension throughout. It doesn’t spend a lot of time explaining what the mimics are, and it doesn’t need to. Just like the novel before it, and the Edge of Tomorrow move after it, this is a superb work of science fiction. But soon enough, Keiji begins to learn the truth about this loop, and a veteran soldier Rita Vrataski will play an important part in him figuring out how to break the loop. He uses this fact to his advantage and gets better at fighting the Mimics through the experience of fighting them in each loop. Keiji quickly realises that he’s stuck in a time loop. But the same thing happens again, Keiji dies in battle and wakes up on the previous day again, keeping all his memories with him. Assuming he was dreaming, Keiji relives his day at the UDF camp, preparing for their battle to take place on the next day. But when Keiji is killed, he wakes up again on the day before the battle took place. Keiji is seemingly killed in battle during his first run fighting the mimics in his battle armour. The mysterious species are called Mimics. A technical alien species has invaded Earth, destroying entire communities. The story is told from the perspective of Keiji Kiriya, a recruit of the United Defense Force.
