Synopsis
Every problem has a solution. When the problem’s the apocalypse, the solution might be a big hammer.
Hal just wanted to go home, listen to the Rolling Stones, and figure out what was wrong with that damn Ford Explorer back at his boss’s garage. He didn’t ask for the world to be destroyed during his subway ride.
Then someone destroyed the world during his subway ride.
Now he’s trapped in a multi-phase System Integration, Chicago’s crawling with monsters, and the subway’s turned into a hardcore tutorial. If he wants to survive, he’ll have to combine magic and technology into a new type of power. But Hal’s solved plenty of problems, and this one? It’s going to regret giving him the power to survive, advance, and thrive. It’s time to engineer his way through the apocalypse.
The universe has plans. It didn’t account for Hal.
