Synopsis
When his alien masters finally let their guard down, Chad Mitchell will be ready...
Chad Mitchell is an outsider. Born on an alien-controlled colony and with human servants for parents, a good life was never in his future.
But as he develops into a remarkably fast learner and unrivalled pilot, Chad finds himself valued more and more by his autocratic alien overlords.
From the edge of the colony's inner circle, the true extent of the aliens' wickedness becomes apparent. Chad's human friends watch him mingle with the leadership and think he has changed — that he has sold out to the oppressors, enjoying the trappings of a new position and forgetting where he came from.
Chad Mitchell knows better.
As he works his way deeper and deeper into the colony's trusted circle of power, an opportunity looms on the horizon.
True freedom lies in wait if Chad's plan comes off, not just for himself but for every human on the colony.
The cost of failure, on the other hand, does not bear thinking about.
Freedom doesn't come cheap. And for Chad Mitchell, it sure as hell won't come easy...
