Description
The Earth is a fading ember, its dwindling resources pushing humanity to the brink of extinction. But there's still one wildcard that could turn the tide - the elite Cyber Ops program. Equal parts boot camp and demented reality show, it takes the scions of the most powerful military families and turns them into futuristic super soldiers. At the center of this insanity is Kael Varrick, the reluctant heir to a prestigious military dynasty. Despite being raised in a life of unimaginable luxury, Kael wants nothing to do with carrying on his parents' legacy of war. He'd much rather spend his days lounging in the lap of privilege. But when duty (or rather, parental guilt-tripping) calls, Kael gets conscripted into the elite ranks of Cyber Ops. There's just one massive, wildly uncomfortable complication - Kael's intake set is led by Petra, the alluring but psychopathic daughter of the Varricks' biggest rivals, the Sarvain Family. Petra lives for two things: claiming victory at any cost, and tormenting poor Kael with equal vigor. Their families' bitter, centuries-old feud quickly reignites with explosive results. As Kael endures Cyber Ops' insane trials - ranging from battling simulations to mastering weapons that can level cities - he discovers an unexpected reservoir of courage and tactical genius. He starts bonding with his misfit squadmates like the scruffy comic relief Rodriguez. Could it be that Kael's destiny lies in saving humanity after all? It's a madcap thrill ride filled with over-the-top action, cutting insults, and surprising heartfelt moments. Get ready to read about how the scrappy underdog rises, falls, pulls himself back together, and takes his first heroic steps toward becoming the savior Earth so desperately needs. Save the world before bedtime? Maybe Kael can pull it off after all!
