Publisher Description

Make enough money through the Hypernet to pay rent or become a wrench monkey for his family's interstellar freighter.

Luke Tavares has dreamed of joining the vast guilds that wage wars across the Hypernet to the adoration of billions. That dream is under threat.

After graduating high school, his parents gave him the same ultimatum as his siblings; he has one month to get a job to pay for his air, gravity, and water aboard the Dahlia.

The guilds aren't interested in him. Though a new game—Sphere World presents an opportunity. You can mine asteroids, build bots, and make weapons to fuel the system-wide war between nodes.

Everything is worth credits.

He's going to need more than just the few credits he gets for selling raw materials and gear. He and his friends are going to need to pull off a risky attack against one of the very guilds he idolizes and use every trick he knows to win.

To the victor go the spoils and credits.

At the same time, the game developers travel to where Sphere World is beaming into their servers.

I build systems that are consistent, worlds that feel lived-in, and characters who grow because they fight for it.
