Ace mech pilot Logan finds his decorated military career incinerated overnight when clan steward Luther frames him for an elder's murder to conceal contraband operations. Banished to the treacherous Aira Mining Star, Logan loses his left arm fighting savage ethereal beasts while nursing an unyielding drive for vindication.
Battling through monster hordes to win an official retrial, Logan returns to Nova Prime only to meet further bureaucratic suppression and lethal front-line assignments. Aided by an incorruptible censor, Logan must withstand Luther's armored assassination squads and awaken a comatose witness before deep-space aberrants overrun the entire sector.
