Description
One mech pilot fights for survival solo in a war-ravaged Texas wasteland.In the scorched landscape of war-torn Texas, Bandit is a mech fighter pilot just trying to survive another day in the savage battle against the Republic of Texas secessionist militia. But when a recon mission goes awry, this wisecracking ace finds himself stranded behind enemy lines. Equipped with only his grit, a duffel bag of supplies, and his gunslinger's wit, Bandit navigates through a motley cast of cutthroat outlaws, mystic seers, and a sultry French doctor volunteering amidst the carnage. Staying alive means outmaneuvering the ruthless Sheriff Sugar, a vengeful lawman bent on killing the invading Yankee mech jockey. The challenges mount as Bandit forges uneasy alliances with fellow Army mech pilot Snowman and the quirky demolition expert called Jittery Joe. Can Bandit fight his way back through the Republic's defenses to be reunited with his battle comrades Frog and Hulka? Will the nefarious Sugar finally exact his brutal pound of flesh? Bandit must risk everything on a final daring night raid to secure a lost treasure trove of beer desperately needed to quench his squadron's thirst after endless combat deployments. In a robot battle theatre where no mission debrief or court martial can judge the hard truths of war, Bandit dispenses his own brand of justice behind the controls of a weaponized mechanized engine of destruction. Decorated hero or shoot-on-sight vigilante? Somewhere west of the Highway to Hell lies one loyal soldier's hope of making it back home alive...and maybe even saving Texas's soul along the way.
