Some pilots are born. Some are forged in fire. Logan Gilbert is both…
… and it might cost him everything.
Navigator Logan Gilbert is two weeks from earning his pilot's wings when he gives his right arm—literally—to save his partner's life. Burned beyond recognition, the doctors piece him back together with an experimental brain patch. The military's thanks? They pull his pilot slot.
But the patch does something no one anticipated. Logan can fly a space fighter with his mind.
As humanity's war against the alien Lithics collapses on every front, Logan is handed the controls of the Sled, the most dangerous weapon ever built, a fighter that bonds directly to its pilot's neural architecture. It could turn the tide. It could also burn his mind to ash.
He survived fire and sacrifice once. He'll face them again. The question is: when it's over, will he remember who he was, and who he wanted to become?
The man they grounded is humanity's last hope. If he can hold on to himself long enough to save it.
