When his giant battle mech goes AWOL, Miles must go after it or face the wrath of his superior officers. But what if his rebellious mech has plans of its own?
In a future where child soldiers are trained to pilot deadly combat robots, thirteen-year-old Miles Riley signs up to join the Colonial Defence Forces. Miles is determined not just to follow in the footsteps of his inventor father – who came up with the idea to use mechs to fight aliens many years ago – but also to find him. For Professor Riley has been missing presumed dead since Miles was born, and the circumstances around his disappearance have never been fully understood. But on the harsh alien planet of Icarus, mech warfare is harder than it looks – especially when someone on the inside wants you dead...
