"Absolutely thrilling. But it's the utter gut punch of a twist that truly got me." ★★★★★ Caroline Noe, author of The Ezekiel Factor and the Carnellian Eye series
On an Earth devastated by The Scorching climate event, the Drathken land their giant plantships with the promise of healing the planet. Joshua Nkosi vlogs and jokes his way through an easy life guarding a deep-sea mining operation while watching old vids. That is until he, and his modded octopus partner, Marc, get caught up in a plot to steal radiation rich materials from the seabed, fuelling the terrorists' plan to destroy a Drathken plantship, and ultimately put an end to the alien/human alliance.
Nkosi and his sarcastic tentacled buddy are forced to enter the Burnout Zone, only to come face to face with humanity's stark future when the hunt for the terrorists' lab takes a devastating twist. As conspiracies deepen and the jokes fly, Nkosi and Marc enter a dark journey of discovery-one they decide humanity desperately needs to listen to.
"Staggeringly original and timely release from a masterful voice in modern sci-fi" ★★★★★ SPR Review
"White-knuckle, thought-provoking and mind-boggling," ★★★★★
