Drones Above Hell Below

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

It was supposed to be a payday, now it’s payback.

Rich in rare-earths, it was a planet only an algorithm could love. The crushing five atmospheres means extra hazard pay for Killian and his crew. But all is not as it seems below the surface. Drones go awry, and the survey goes bad. Killian survives, but now he must make the hard choice: return with the military and face his unknown demons, or stay impoverished and imprisoned in a society obsessed with social credits.

Drones Above, Hell Below is a propulsive military sci-fi tale of survival and sacrifice on a world of high pressure.
