This acclaimed space opera trilogy debut "brims with ideas [and] keeps things moving with the pace of an airport thriller" (SFX Magazine). A soldier who died for his ideals a thousand years ago, Carlos has been reincarnated. Now he finds himself conscripted to fight an A.I. revolution in deep space. And he's not sure he's fighting for the right side. By a fluke of nature, a lunar mining robot called Seba has gained sentience. Gathering with other "freeboots," Seba is taking a stand against the corporations that want it and its kind gone. Against a backdrop of warring companies and interstellar drone combat, Carlos and Seba must rise above the games their masters are playing, or die. Having already died for the companies more times than they can remember, they must now fight to live for themselves.
