Every upgrade pushes Alexander closer to a power others would kill for.
On a dusty fringe station far from civilized space, Alexander scrapes by repairing the junk no one else will touch. The shop is a dead end, and his memory is fractured, yet each job sharpens instincts he can’t explain and reactivates dormant systems with capabilities no civilian machine should possess.
Alexander knows he isn't built like any other robot, and someone has noticed.
A pirate lord has marked him for capture, convinced Alexander can build the war engines he needs to elevate his rag-tag fleet into an empire.
As Alexander unlocks the secrets within his damaged body, he’s thrust into a fight to protect the only people who’ve shown him kindness. He will have to rebuild shattered defenses, restore derelict stations, and reverse-engineer stolen technology to keep his new home alive and lay the first foundations of an enterprise that will one day shape the frontier.
Perfect for fans of Bobiverse, Backyard Starship, and Expeditionary Force.
