Omega Squad (Archives of the VerdTech Resistance, #1)

162 years after the Collapse, one corporation rules the galaxy—and its resources—with an iron fist. One convict is fed up.

Cary Patterson did not set out to be a revolutionary. Banished to a mining colony on a harsh moon at the edge of the known galaxy, he was supposed to keep his head down, serve his sentence, and maybe one day return to the windswept shores of his beloved Old World home. But conditions on VerdTech Mining Colony 2387 are harsh, designed to break the spirit of anyone unlucky enough to end up there. He's got enough to worry about, keeping his squad of convicts safe from faulty machinery, sadistic staff, or class warfare with the stuck-up debtor squads, all while managing an overly-flexible body that's prone to fainting and completely ill-suited to mine work.

When a deadly accident kills an entire squad of cons, though, enough is enough. What starts with one impulsive act quickly spirals into widespread rebellion, the kind that has the potential to unite con and debtor alike…or invoke the brutal wrath of an uncaring mega-corporation.

Upper management won't know what hit 'em.
