When the galaxy's apex predators strike a defenseless mining outpost, they expect a slaughter. The Hemogeny Queens, enraged by human expansion, have finally found a way to strike the heart of the Orion-Cygnus Arm: the Snowy System. It is a backwater rich in metals but devoid of military protection. The Hemogeny came for a snack; they found a buzzsaw. Trapped under a bloated red sun, geologist Jenny Zoisite and her Al companion, Jardi, are caught between lethal surface "F-storms" and an invading armada. But the invaders made a fatal mistake: they overlooked the raw power of the industrial sector. Jenny doesn't have warships, but she has
a PhD in survival and a fleet of massive mining drones. Led by a woman who knows every fault line of her world, a ragtag group of
miners is about to turn deep-core machinery into the galaxy's most devastating weapons of resistance. It's a showdown between blood-sucking monsters and a "rock-sucker" who knows exactly how to make a planet break.
