Dinniman takes a break from Dungeon Crawler Carl to talk about the colony planet New Sonora. Oliver is the fourth or fifth generation New Sonoran, an Earth Colony. Buy Earth has come a knocking and they want the planet for their own purposes. To do that, the Apex Corporation hosts a game where remotely piloted robots have come to New Sonora to wipe out the citizens in the name of putting down a terrorist uprising.
It's a bunch of battles between the settlers and the invaders interspersed with dialogue about rogue AI's and duplicitous corporate dealing. A lot of the book is problem solving and figuring out why New Sonora has been targeted in the first place. Plucky heroes against evil aggressors.
An enjoyable one-off.
In the Tudor Period, Fencing Masters were classified in the Vagrancy Laws along with Actors, Gypsys, Vagabonds, Sturdy Rogues, and the owners of performing bears.
