Seven strangers wake up in a sealed compound with no idea how they got there. They are informed by a computer-generated voice that they must complete tasks in order to leave, and that failure to complete any of the tasks or breaking any of the rules results in a strike.

Or save it.

He’s assigned to a squad with his goofy friend and another captivating cadet, Iris.

And everyone in the squad wants a valuable class, ideally the kind where you don’t get killed immediately.

When a ruthless commander takes over the moon, he has it out for Carter Ash. The commander sends him to a tiny settlement to defend it with the worst soldiers for the job. Carter’s only support comes from an unexpected place: an enticing alien diplomat. That’s not all, however—the meager soldiers he has are being hunted and killed by something outside the colony.

Carter Ash should be a celebrated hero, instead he’s leading a doomed mission on a backwater moon, wondering what went wrong. His assignment is impossible—take over the whole moon with a handful of soldiers fresh out of Basic Training. It’s the kind of thing that takes an army, and his commanders won’t give him one. But Humanity’s position in the great galactic Game is worse off than ever, and they need the resources this colony could provide, so Carter isn’t going to sit idly by. He’ll have to fight an army of zombie aliens, plane sized vultures, and worse. Even alone, if he has to.

Carter Ash must take the fight to his enemies—or risk losing everything. As the leader of the United Interplanetary Republic, he knows the only chance for his people’s survival is defeating the Empire of Humanity. But the Emperor and his army are much stronger than Carter knows—and they will stop at nothing to wipe the evidence of his embarrassing betrayal from the face of the galaxy. Now, they must pin their hopes on a daring mission into the heart of danger to keep the Empire from attacking. With a sultry sniper at his side, can he win an unwinnable fight?

Difficult diplomacy is all that keeps Carter Ash and his people safe from the threats around them. They need all the time they can get to build their home, because every day new, hungry eyes turn towards their fledgling government and their resource rich moon.

And to top it off, a blast from his past arrives, complicating everything.
