Conscription. It was announced through every electronic device around the globe, right before everyone considered capable was abducted. Meaning most people under the age of twenty-five.
James Cook and his team Mecha Tail were supposed to be fighting in the e-game championships for Mecha-Assault Two. Now they're just grunts for the Union's Planetary Defense force.
With Neural implants grafted onto their spines to give them direct control over their rusted and reclaimed mech armor, they have weeks to learn how to fight.
He will have to become more than James Cook, he will have to become Salchar. He will have to become a leader.
Under the rust and harried repairs that make up the Dreadnought Golden Refuge, hides the true heart of the ship Resilient. She knows a devastating secret.
The Union lays in tatters and the Planetary Defense force was gutted.
If that's true—who are Salchar and his people training and fighting under?
with Michael Chatfield “ I build systems that are consistent, worlds that feel lived-in, and characters who grow because they fight for it. ”
