Ero Hartwell didn't ask to be abducted. He didn't ask to be crammed into a UFO with two dozen suspiciously athletic, suspiciously similar teenagers who turn out to be company-bred test-tube babies with forbidden DNA abilities being unlocked by a rotating cast of gorgeous ascended alien teachers. He definitely didn't ask to be the group's token normal human, designated "control subject" for a mad scientist's interplanetary liberation mission. But when you accidentally get added to an alien abduction manifest by someone settling a personal score, the universe isn't exactly listening to what you asked for. Now Ero has a month to learn soul-slipping, AI hacking, and Martian combat survival before Space Force ships him off to liberate human slaves from reptilian overlords. His odds would be better if he hadn't accidentally hitchhiked a soul fragment of the galaxy's most dangerous predator back to the Moon.
