Retirement was never going to suit Nills Langthorp. Six months out of his engineering business, and he's already bored stupid.
That is, until a routine maintenance call on a glitching terraforming satellite gives him the excuse he needs to drag himself and his eccentric droid Gizmo back into orbit for one last maintenance job.
What starts as a friendly wager between man and robot turns into a fight for survival when the Helios Laser Array - a decommissioned space weapon repurposed as a terraforming experiment - proves to be anything but defenseless. Now, he's stranded on the Martian surface with a wrecked ship, a damaged droid, and a desperate plan for survival.
Meanwhile, Jann Malbec, Nills' long-suffering partner and the only person capable of talking sense into him, is already racing across the planet on a rescue mission. Because if she knows Nills, finding him alive will only be the beginning of her problems. No doubt he'll have some crazy plan to stop the rogue satellite which is almost certainly going to get him killed.
With the gigawatt laser array now targeting the City of Elysium and the clock ticking toward annihilation, the only thing more dangerous than an ex-military space weapon... is the man and the droid determined to stop it.
