Last Power Cycle - System Elsewhere: The Reboot Rebellion, #1

After a career of watching blinking lights and maintaining IT systems, Steve was finally assigned to something that mattered.  Maintenance of the servers filled with the uploaded minds of the dead was definitely a step up from being a skinny, community college dropout from the slums. But it turned out God's Holy Unification Fleet was less about  enemies and more about following perfunctory orders. 
So when his ship crashed, prompting a hard reboot of the world's loved ones, heresy devolved into schism then collapsed into civil war.  Now Steve must navigate his role as major player in the war, and he has a plan that will disrupt everything.

Perfect for readers looking for something a little different in a Military Sci-fi.  War is terrible, but it's also an opportunity for heroes to rise up from the ashes of tragedy and truly change of course of human endeavors. These series is *not* those stories.  This series is about the stupid decisions that trickle down to create impossible circumstances where no one, no matter how heroic you are, can navigate without either messing something up or pissing someone off.  This series doesn't focus on great generals or world leader navigating strategic decisions to save the world, this series is about the losers, the marginalized, the incompetent, and the people stuck in middle. It is a ten part series  meant to be read in any order.  

Looking for something with tastes of the cynicism of grim-dark without the crushing pessimism?  Something that mixes violent escapism with a touch of humor?  Something that might make you look at your friendly neighborhood IT in a different light?  Then this is you.  There's no heroes, maybe a few villains, but mostly just people trying to live their lives when the world is falling apart all around them.
