About this book

It was Eric's birthday, the day he became a man. And that could only mean one thing. It was time for him to steal for mankind. The aliens had subjugated humans with technology so far in advanced of anything that mankind had ever developed that it was unthinkable that man would ever claim back his home planet. Or was it?

Eric’s coming-of-age birthday brings one task: steal for humanity under alien rule.

Come here for

  • Eric’s birthday and the moment he becomes a man
  • A theft framed as service to mankind

Expect

  • Aliens whose technology keeps humans subjugated
  • The question of whether humans can reclaim their home planet
