Synopsis
HUD: Contact War (Book 2) Synopsis
A year has passed since the events of Planet Nereus. Nic and his squad are now on the frontlines of a flesh-and-blood war the likes of which humanity has never seen. Team Scarlet wants to run out the clock on their contract with Red Battalion and the Galactic Defense Force, but the Hexadians won't make their survival easy. It seems like humanity is on the verge of winning the Contact War. Nic has built his life on following orders to the letter, but deeper truths about the Hexadians will test the limits of Nic's obedience... and his sanity.
HUD: Wargame (Book 1) Synopsis
In the future, everything is a game. Even war. 18-year-old Nic Siegfried wants the high score.
Virtually piloting a real-life robot, he'll face off against his peers with the help of his AI guidance system, RTIFIS. The prize? New worlds across the galaxy that are ripe for human conquest and terraforming. It sounds glamorous on paper, but this job might be more dangerous than he thought...
Praise for HUD: Wargame
★★★★★This is a good one! "This is one of those stories where you read the first few paragraphs and can just tell that the author has the chops to tell a story. It's engaging and the rules are well thought out and clearly explained. The action is punchy and exciting. Anyway, read it." -HonourRae
★★★★★UNFRIGGENBELIEVABLE!!!!!! "HUD: Wargame is a sci-fi GameLit worth reading." -TienSwitch
★★★★★Rock-solid FPS GameLit. "Nic - the main character - is an ambitious, hyper-competitive perfectionist, and the story fortunately handles him correctly in that it does not push these traits too far." -Akaso
HUD: Wargame is the first of a five-part sci-fi series featuring GameLit elements. HUD: Wargame contains some (simulated) violence and very sparing PG-13 profanity. HUD: Wargame is currently available exclusively on the YONDER app.
HUD: Contact War is the second book in the series and features more realistic violence as well as some profanity, still mostly in the PG-13 range.
