Mech Ascendant: Forging a Star Empire
Deep in the colonized fringe of Rigel-4, a disgraced mech cadet becomes the galaxy's deadliest bargaining chip. Kyle Rayne trades his rust-stained wrench for an M-49 ballistics rifle—and a Silver Core neural implant corroding his sanity. But when an armored horde of flesh-devouring Void Worms obliterates his battalion, Kyle uncovers the Dominion’s pact with four cosmic monstrosities feeding on human psionic essence: the Spiritweb Cultivator, Stellar Abyss Devourer, Desire Forge Mech-Spirit, and Shadowghost Wraith. To survive, he must pilot a derelict Titan siege mech hardwired to his dead mother’s DNA—and dismantle an empire selling soldiers as living chaff to alien gods.
