Winning the city was the easy part. Keeping it is going to take a lot more duct tape.
Oscar has officially claimed the Apex Forge. As the new Administrator, he’s got a throne made of welded mech-parts, a snarky AI integrated into the mainframe, and a Paladin acting as his head of security.
There’s just one problem: his junk-virus hack saved their lives, but it completely fried the city's supply chains. The Forge is out of raw materials, and the life-support systems are ticking down.
Before Oscar can even allocate his new stat points to fix the mess, the Deep Network comes online. The Forge’s massive blast doors grind open, revealing a continent-spanning subterranean Mag-Lev highway. Oscar isn't alone. There are other Administrators out there—high-level, hyper-advanced elitists who view Oscar’s scrap-built empire as a glitch that needs to be wiped from the system.
Sitting in a ruined factory just makes him a target. It's time to upgrade the old scrap-train into a subterranean warship, hit the Mag-Lev network, and show the elites what a Junkmancer can really do.
Genre: Science Fiction
