I just wanted to tell my neighbor to shut up.

Hi, I'm Jack Taylor, a romance author from Earth -- though you probably haven't heard of my planet yet. It's not part of the Galactic Consortium, and that's a good thing for the shady alien races lurking in the shadows, ready to snatch up anyone they can.

When I was abducted by the Grays during a camping trip, I found myself thrust into a mercenary life I never asked for. Now I'm a Level 2 merc with one goal: to reclaim my home and protect my loved ones. I might accidentally save the galaxy, but that's not really my focus.

It looks like I might be able to pilot mechs, and with that power, I could turn the tide against the forces exploiting Earth. But as I train with my squad, I've uncovered a conspiracy that could shake the galaxy to its core. The Phantom Legion is on the hunt for humans like me, and their sinister plans may be more dangerous than I ever imagined.

Join me on a wild ride through combat training, unexpected alliances, and a race against time, as I strive to prove that even a romance writer can become a hero -- assuming I can survive that long.
