About this listen

Wayne dreamed of piloting a thirty-foot-tall walking robot that was closer to a battle-tank than anything else.

They were called Walkers. They were armed with laser cannons, rockets, missiles, and heavy kinetic weapons more similar to artillery pieces than guns, and everything that went with that.

Unfortunately, he had been declined military service. His only avenue left to become a Walker Pilot was to make it happen all on his own. Under his own power. With his own hands. Literally.

Working his fingers to the bone, saving all he could, and digging through junkyards and salvage pits, Wayne made it happen. One part at a time.

He was now, finally, at the starting line.

Having built a very rough Walker that he had cobbled together himself, he scavenged a few weapons that were perfect for starting out and had just enough money to afford ammunition. His long-term dream was just about to start. Perhaps he would even form his own Walker Mercenary company and hire people to work with him.

Except just as he finally moves forward, his home world is about to take a gigantic leap backward—with Wayne at the center of it all, without ever truly realizing it.

An absolutely fantastic book with a great performance.

I listened to the whole thing in practically one sitting and can't wait for the next one which I already ordered.

it's light and funny for the most part with intriguie and combat spaced excellently. Well rounded character roster which I was invested in and an addictive listen.

If you like a military sci fi which keeps you entertained this is a must.

thanks to the author and actors for this. I will listen repeatedly

Loves it.

The Mc definitely feels unique compared to Arands other works. The other Characters aren't copy-paste either from his other works.
Combine that with a Mecha story and you get a masterpiece.
Looking forward to Book 2
