Publisher's Synopsis
Generations in the future, Megan ran for her life every day through the decaying vertislums of Halifax, doing menial jobs in order to make payments on her mandatory cybernetic implants. When the gilded job offer appeared and she was first to reach it, everything changed.
She became the first of the last generation of freedom fighters by bonding with her experimental Tulpa mecha, Kitsune. Megan and Kitsune and a small squad of fighters team up against the limitless drone armies wielded by Earth's overlords.
The fight seems impossible, but she has nothing to lose. Can the bond between human and machine overcome the endless drone armies of Mars?
Fans of Firefly, Pacific Rim, and other stories of a small band of friends in a last ditch effort against overwhelming military force will find this a heart-stopping new story to get lost in.
Some of the early reviews:
★★★★★ from Amazon:
Looking very forward to the sequel
"The world is very richly thought out, and you could tell that there are many more layers of detail that weren't touched upon in order to keep the story pacing fast.
The action sequences were fast and satisfying, tense mecha battles, which culminated in a nice climax.
Earths characters are interesting and sympathetic, and their Martian counterparts are pleasantly inhuman."★★★★★ from Goodreads:
"I was tense through a pretty good bit of the fighting, and especially towards the end! There are some surprises that totally caught me off guard. I like the Riders, it feels like they could be alive somewhere in real life, and the mechas are somehow both machine-like and darlings. This is definitely worth a read."
