Scrap Metal: Book One of the Ascendant Series

By MB Douglas

Ryo is a black market augment technician from the unregistered lower districts - good at fixing hardware in a small space, invisible to the system that owns everything above him. When he enters Helion Group's Ascension competition, he brings two things no other candidate has: a data drive his sister left behind before the competition killed her, and two years of decoded evidence about what the program actually is. Scrap Metal follows the first eight rounds of a fight that was never just about winning - it was about getting far enough inside to see what his sister saw, and building something with it before they figure out what he's doing.
