The front line is a fire-breathing nightmare. And the Probie is the first to go in.
In the 4500 block of 4th Avenue, Bronx City, life is measured in shifts, steam, and scars.
Liam Civie Gallagher is a first-gen firefighter-a badge-carrying outsider in a house of heroes where bloodline is everything. With only three tours under his belt, he's still the Probie. He's still the bastard. And he's still got everything to prove to the legendary veterans of Rescue 1.
But in Titan City, expectations don't matter when the sirens scream.
When a Class 3 Wyven incursion hits the Queens District-the agricultural breadbasket of the city-a simple rescue operation turns into a desperate stand against a swarm of Ember Locusts. Armed with pneumatic crossbows, heavy axes, and the legendary West Side Rumble Bus-a fire-tank built to hold the line-Rescue 1 must fight to save the Pollinator Towers. If they fail, the city starves. If they break, the walls fall.
It's Liam's fourth shift. It's his trial by fire. And in a city governed by the Clock-Work regime and haunted by ancient monsters, the only way to earn your callsign is to survive the inferno.
Rescue 1: Episode 4 - PROBIE picks back up where episode 3 left off. A visceral, serialized firehouse drama, fans of dystopian sci-fi would recognize as the closest thing to a TV show in book form.
- A unique industrial-dystopian setting featuring steam-powered tech and ancient draconic threats.
- Serialized storytelling: Each episode covers one intense 24-hour shift. Jump in anywhere and get hooked immediately.
- High-octane action: From the harrowing launch of the Pneumatic Satan's Train to brutal close-quarters combat against swarming Wyvens.
The shift is starting. Sign the waiver, climb aboard for the next 24 hours and see what it takes to survive as a Titan City Firefighter.
