A Wolf Age

The mask of civility worn by the corporations that control the Vangr expanse has fallen away. 

Once isolated and often clandestine conflicts now play out in full view, even acting as advertisements for their newest machines of war. Rico Estrada was made for this; a student chosen from forfeited children to be one of the brand ambassadors for Necker Group. He's been through the most rigorous testing and training all in preparation for piloting the most cutting edge einherjar Necker Group has made yet; the Mk.3 Asura, twelve meter tall pinnacle of their humanoid war machines. And yet, he finds himself assigned to a squad of misfits defending a frozen over rock of little import. Worse: he's being left behind by the rejects, instead being shown up by the mysterious recluse recently dropped on them by corporate.

This is the sequel to the novel, Season of Fools.
