    About this ebook

    Slave.

    Aart was born into the life of a slave, but he never accepted it. The Confederacy crush all opposition, but when they kill Aart's friend and mentor, he hits back.

    Fugitive.

    Now he must make his own way in the world and navigate a universe where people can harvest your emotions, locusts are a staple food, and the robot revolution is in progress.

    Hero.

    Join Aart as he explores the universe, plasma pistol in one hand and good intentions in the other.
