Operation Bounce House – Matt Dinniman [podpisana]

From Matt Dinniman, the wildly acclaimed author of the „Dungeon Crawler Carl” series, comes an explosive, razor-sharp standalone sci-fi thriller blending high-octane mech warfare with biting dark satire. Generations ago, settlers on the distant frontier world of New Sonora built a quiet, self-sustaining agricultural community far from Earth’s reach. Now, the ruthless mega-corporation that holds the planet’s deed wants the land cleared—and instead of sending an expensive conventional army, they turn planetary eviction into a live-streamed global entertainment event.

Millions of wealthy Earthbound gamers pay to remotely pilot heavily armed war machines, drones, and orbital weapons in what is marketed as a harmless real-time video game—completely unaware, or indifferent, to the fact that the targets on their screens are real human beings fighting for their lives. When the sky begins to rain fire, local rancher Oliver Lewis and his neighbors must improvise, adapt, and wage an asymmetric guerrilla war against an endless wave of mechanized invaders to save their families and home.
