Red Shift: Astraeus SOS

By Sal Russo

A reluctant scientist. An untested AI. An attack hiding a conspiracy.

Rocket scientist Svante Bj rk built mech weapons. He never planned to use them.

When terrorists attack his asteroid facility, Svante barely escapes with his life and a fragment of his AI friend's code. The mercenary team that rescues him offers temporary safety, but the terrorists are on Astraeus, and they're about to disappear forever.

Jacinda Vachart, a cybernetically enhanced intelligence officer, is investigating the attack. She needs his help. He needs her resources. And time is running out.

Svante has spent his life avoiding confrontation. But the killers are within reach, and Jacinda is offering him something he's never had: a chance to fight back.

With a new AI companion helping him, Svante will have to learn to pilot a mech in the middle of battle - and ultimately face the skull-armored soldier who took everything from him.

Using science as a weapon and a mech as his shield, Svante will try to prove that brains are greater than brawn.

Perfect for fans of Marko Kloos and John Scalzi.
