Subjugated by aliens, bands of people fight to survive as one young hero battles for humanity's place among the stars, in this science-fiction fantasy.

On Earth, Shad Williams was a soldier in the US Army, protecting and defending his country. Now, he's a champion for Earth itself, engaging in combat against monstrous creatures on a distant planet. Humans are just one of several species taken from their homeworlds to serve powerful aliens. Tasked with obtaining a Reality Engine—a supercomputer capable of producing unimaginable technological creations—for their new overlords, they're forced to wage war against one another.

Fortunately, Shad and his fellow members of the Misfits Guild aren't ordinary soldiers. They're hardened veterans who've developed uncanny magical abilities with each victory. A Gunslinger with incredible speed and bullseye accuracy, Shad is a warrior unmatched. He refuses to sacrifice his people to empower their extraterrestrial captors and believes humanity's only real hope for survival lies in taking a Reality Engine for themselves.

But even when faced with a common enemy, greed and fear drive humans to turn against one another. American military officer Major Waters is more than willing to turn a Reality Engine over to his alien masters if it means he'll be named ruler of Earth. As Shad and his teammates take on treacherous quests and fight against beings born out of fiction and nightmares, Waters sabotages their efforts at every turn. Then, amidst the chaos, an unexpected combatant emerges on the battlefield, ready to reveal itself and take control of its own destiny at long last . . .
