In a civilization built on fully immersive theme parks, the attractions have taken over and humans are nearly extinct. The fearless Leftenant, a hologram perfect in every way - just ask her, is second in command of the HMAS Dauntless. In a final battle for humanity, her ship and crew are shot down by the Mad King Ludwig.

Exactly one century later, she awakens in a human body with no connection to her network or superior capacities. Now a wanted
human fugitive from the mad king she is soon joined by an Australian-robot adventurer named Outback Jack and a scathing, six-legged scavenger, Snafu. Together, they embark on a perilous journey across dangerous Stranger Worlds to reignite the flames of resistance or suffer a fate far worse than death: repurposement.

“Oh, Bollocks! What have I gotten myself into now?”

“The lines of imagination and reality never have been so blurred as they are in the amazing, yet sinister theme park world so creatively envisioned by Jack Castle!”
