All You Need Is Kill

All You Need is Kill

Rookie soldier Keiji Kiriya dies within hours of his first battle against the alien Mimics, crushed under a wave of enemy fire he never saw coming. He wakes up the previous morning instead, forced to relive the same day and the same death over and over, each loop teaching him something new about the battlefield he can't yet escape. Renowned soldier Rita Vrataski, said to have broken a similar loop herself, becomes the one person who might understand what's happening to him. Hiroshi Sakurazaka's novel, illustrated by Yoshitoshi ABe, later inspired the Hollywood film Edge of Tomorrow.
