Summary
First contact has occurred, but humanity are the aliens.
Ash and his mercenary team drop onto an alien world on contract for Adrian Labs: snatch a couple of “Koarians” and cash out. The job turns perilous on impact when their pods reveal themselves as Darters, drilling underground and incinerating into molten slag, leaving the team stranded.
Forced to continue with their task, they quickly encounter groups of the native felids. They stun and capture them, then reach out to their corporate handler, Adam, who changes the terms of their contract: they will be left planetside until their new tasks are completed.
Follow Ash’s team as they navigate a machine-age alien culture on a world that only corporations know of—corporations that will go to any lengths to secure what they want and to ensure deniability.
