-
All New Sonoran colonist Oliver Lewis ever wanted to do is run the family ranch and keep their aging fleet of intelligent agriculture bots ticking.
But now the colossal Apex Corporation has been hired to commence an "eviction action" - exterminate all life on New Sonora in preparation for a reboot. And they charge bored Earthers for the opportunity to design their own war machines, remotely pilot them, and make it a game.
The game is called Operation Bounce House . . .
And New Sonora is its playing field.
Determined to defend the only home he's ever known, Oliver and his friends find themselves fighting for their lives against these machines.
To earth its a game, but to Oliver, it's war.

"An all-hands-on-deck sci-fi war novel that pits the peasants against the plutocracy, pitchforks against spaceships, rock 'n' roll against oppression, and love against greed... you're gonna love every bloody page of it." Philip Fracassi, author of The Autumn Springs Retirement Home Massacre
