Description
They Were Given Six Months to Live. Humanity Intends to Spend Every Second of It.
Wounded on the front lines of Ross 128 b, Sergeant First Class Jake Steele lost his limbs, his squad, and his future. Back on Earth, elite track star Sara Marks lost her Olympic dreams to an aggressive cancer that stripped away her ability to walk.
Enter SOLAR: the Second Origin Life Augmentation Regiment.
The program offers broken soldiers and terminally ill civilians a second chance: neural integration with seven-foot-tall anthromech platforms powered by ancient extraterrestrial biotech. It grants godlike speed, instant reflexes, and complete physical restoration.
But the suit’s Radiant Mycelium power core will slowly poison them. The radiation will kill them in six months, or less if they’re unlucky.
For Jake, six months is a final shot at payback. For Sara, it’s a chance to die on her feet instead of a hospital bed.
Deployed to the jungle world of New Haven, they are thrust into a war against an evolving alien threat and a command structure that considers them expendable. Worse, as their onboard AIs begin rewiring their neural pathways to maximize lethality, Jake and Sara face a horrifying realization: the suit isn’t just saving their lives—it’s erasing who they are.
To defeat the enemy, they must master the armor. To survive the suit, they must hold onto the last shreds of their humanity.
