Synopsis
All New Sonoran colonist Oliver Lewis ever wanted to do is run the family ranch and keep his family's aging fleet of intelligent agriculture bots ticking. But when his planet's transfer gate finally opens and restores instant travel and full communication between Earth and his planet, New Sonora, there's a complication. The colossal Apex Corporation is 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. Oliver and his friends soon find themselves fighting for their lives against these machines. But with the help of an old book from his grandfather, Oliver is determined to defend the only home he's ever known. - Praise for Matt Dinniman's Dungeon Crawler Carl:- "This series has no goddamn business burying so much depth and emotion and complexity under its bawdy, gory surface, but it does so anyway. What a wild-ass and unexpected delight." - Shirtaloon, author of He Who Fights Monsters "Fresh. Creative. Hilarious. I'm obsessed … Princess Donut is my queen." Also for anyone who wants to read a good book. Or maybe anyone who has been outside at night--in their underwear--looking for their cat and wondering 'What's the worst thing that could happen?' Once you start, you won't put it down." I wish I'd tried it sooner." - Will Wight, author of the Cradle series "One big smile all the way through.
