Fueled By Fury

The Wolverines thought David Wayne was too scrawny to pilot a mech. They laughed in his face, telling him he needed more muscle and, hell, maybe a mustache to be worthy. But they underestimated the furious spark of ambition that burned inside. Driven by the sting of their ridicule, David teams up with his sarcastic AI, Tabitha, and a crew of overlooked society rejects, transforming scrap into a weapon that defies all expectations.

David Wayne just wanted to repair his battle-scarred mech, Raven One—but life had other plans. A remote colony on Therasis begs for rescue, thieves and pirates plague the galaxy's shadows, and a brilliant scientist's research could save millions . . . or become a weapon that topples empires. His secret weapon? A fiercely protective, sometimes sarcastic AI named Tabitha. Together, they skirt the law with forged sedation logs, bribe corrupt officials, and hack Federation databases—all while rushing headlong into a war that corporate giants would rather keep hidden.

David Wayne spent years proving he was more than just a "twiggy" engineer unfit for the battlefield. Now, as the mastermind behind Raven, Inc., he's built a team of outcasts, innovators, and fearless pilots willing to defy the impossible. When the Wolverines—a powerful mercenary force that once mocked him—come knocking with a lucrative offer, David knows better than to trust their sudden interest.
