About the Book

When aliens conquer Earth and Mars, the asteroid Belt fights back. Miner Mike Stone, his ship Susquehanna, and loyal AI dogs turn mining tools into weapons against an empire that mistakes human chaos for weakness.

Book Synopsis

When aliens came for Earth, the Belt refused to kneel.

The Thrang arrived with overwhelming force, advanced weapons, and a doctrine of conquest refined across a dozen conquered worlds. Earth and Mars were struck first. Governments fractured. Fleets burned. The old order bent beneath the weight of an enemy that believed humanity was too divided, too primitive, and too late to resist.

They were wrong.

In the asteroid Belt, miner Mike Stone wants nothing more than to keep his ship running, protect his crew, and stay out of history's way. But when the invasion reaches the scattered mining colonies, survival depends on people the Thrang never bothered to understand: independent Belters, battered warships, stubborn engineers, and semi-autonomous mining bots with the loyalty of dogs and the instincts of wolves.

Led by Mike's AI companions and the aging ship Susquehanna, the miners turn tools into weapons, debris fields into battlefields, and desperation into strategy. Against an empire built on hierarchy and obedience, humanity's greatest advantage may be its chaos.

The Thrang expected submission.

They found the Dogs of Ore.
