Recruitment Protocol

THE SIGNAL ISN'T A GLITCH. IT'S A DRAFT NOTICE. Danny Reyes drives the night shift for a delivery app that never sleeps — and neither does the strange signal bleeding into his radio between jobs. Addresses that don't exist. Packages that don't exist. Until one night, the delivery is real, and it isn't a package waiting for him. It's a recruiter. And she's not human. Turns out Earth has been under quiet observation for decades — and something is finally moving. Danny is offered a choice: keep driving in circles, or step into a war he didn't know was happening, on a station orbiting a planet that shouldn't exist. Now he's training alongside pilots, hackers, and soldiers from a dozen worlds, all of whom know more about Earth's pop culture than he expected — and a lot more about what's coming than they're willing to say. The countdown has already started. Suit up.
