James Thorne wasn’t supposed to matter. Then the aliens came, and a pissed-off Psyker Marine matters quite a lot.

James Thorne was a nobody — the kind of background-character recruit the military machine processes by the thousand. Then the aliens arrived, and the rules changed for everyone. The ones that changed for Thorne came with a System interface, a weaponised mind, and a body that responds to combat the way other people’s respond to caffeine.
What follows is a relentless, levelling-up war story in the tradition of hard combat sci-fi. Squad dynamics, alien hostiles, and a System that rewards exactly the kind of person James Thorne turns out to be when nobody’s looking.
Produced by Royal Guard. Omnibus audiobook performed by Matthew Michael Lewis and Renee Nolen.
love Galaxy’s Edge, Terran Fleet Command, or any progression fantasy that treats combat as a craft. Think Starship Troopers with a stat sheet — military sci-fi for readers who want the LitRPG machinery without losing the war-story spine.

Finished in one day! Loved this. Really well written, fast-paced story with funny and horrifying moments intertwined. Great action scenes. The MC is an entirely kick-ass Everyman and there's a cast of interesting goodies and baddies around him.
Pure Sci-Fantasy Goodness. Been looking for another book series like 12 Miles Below and Warformed and this fit the bill. Can't wait to see what James and Co get up to next.
A gripping military sci-fi tale that balances intense action with heartfelt character development and intriguing alien lore. James Thorne's journey from a downtrodden everyman to a Psyker warrior is as thrilling as it is emotionally resonant.
