But now the colossal Apex Corporation has been hired to commence an "eviction action" - exterminate all life on New Sonora in preparation for a reboot. And they charge bored Earthers for the opportunity to design their own war machines, remotely pilot them, and make it a game. The game is called Operation Bounce House ... and New Sonora is its playing field. Determined to defend the only home he's ever known, Oliver and his friends find themselves fighting for their lives against these machines. To Earth it's a game, but to Oliver, it's war. "Matt Dinniman has cooked us all up a deliciously terrifying gamer geek stew, mixing up Avatar and Ender's Game, with a dash of The Last Starfighter and Independence Day thrown in. This tale is more twisted fun than you can shake a joystick at." - Ernest Cline, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Ready Player One.
