History class drops Gabe into the past, barefoot and hunted. His teacher is an AI. Graduation is a new planet. Gabe earns his keep hauling water through the choking heat of Guadalajara, until he wins a berth on a colony ship. And leaves a dying Earth behind. His body rides in stasis for the twenty-five-light-year voyage. His mind lives inside the Dream - a virtual academy where lessons aren't taught but survived. Each campaign leaves scars. Gabe isn't the smartest on the leaderboard. He's rarer: the one who keeps his head, keeps his friends alive, and argues with the game itself. But the Dream hides a truth that lands like a gut punch, and it has plans for Gabe he never agreed to. For readers who loved the mind games and lethal training of Ender's Game.
