From Goodreads:
To save humanity, they must give up their own.
The Six is about a group of terminally ill teenagers whose lives are “saved” when their minds are downloaded to combat-ready U.S. Army robots. The seventeen-year-old hero, Adam Armstrong, becomes the first human-machine hybrid — a hulking robot called a Pioneer — when his computer-scientist father scans Adam’s brain in such detail that all his memories and personality traits can be transferred to electronic circuits.
The Army pays for the procedure because it needs Adam and the five other Pioneers to fight an artificial intelligence called Sigma, which has gone out of control and taken over a nuclear missile base. The teens train for battle at a secret underground Army outpost, and at the same time they learn how to live inside steel armor and silicon chips instead of flesh and blood. They have to develop their new robotic capabilities without losing their humanity. And they must overcome their differences and work together as a team to confront the ruthless Sigma and its plan to exterminate humanity.
