Aiden Simeon hasn't had a normal life. That's how he became a tech with a mercenary group on Havoc Station, one of the roughest places in the galaxy. He's inherited the responsibility of three other kids, while he's still just a kid himself. The Lancers are the only ticket out of the system, and he intends they'll be on that transport when they go. Provided, of course, he can solve the problem of a cyber attack on the station, survive the war with a new and overwhelming enemy, and learn how to fit in an evolving world where nothing can stay the same.
