Description
When Earth's government opens a transfer gate to the colony world of New Sonora, Oliver Lewis expects peaceful reconnection with his home planet—but instead finds himself caught in a deadly game. The Apex Corporation has turned the colonists' forced eviction into a profitable entertainment venture, allowing wealthy Earthers to design and remotely pilot war machines against the defenseless settlers for a premium price. Armed only with his grandfather's old book, salvaged parts, and the help of his friends, Oliver must transform himself from a humble rancher into a defender of his world. As the game intensifies and the stakes become brutally real, Oliver discovers that survival requires more than ingenuity—it demands courage against an enemy that views his people as nothing more than entertainment. A thrilling blend of science fiction adventure and social commentary, this novel explores themes of corporate greed, colonialism, and the power of ordinary people to resist extraordinary odds.
