The Recruitment Rise of the Free Fleet — Michael Chatfield

Salchar and Thirty-thousand other teenagers and children are kidnapped from Earth. They're pressed into service with the Planetary Defense Force, the military arm of the Union. Their duty is simple; follow orders and fill the ranks of the Mecha Corps. Thing is, the Union has been dead for a hundred years. So who the hell is running the PDF? Those questions matter little to the ‘recruits' they still have to survive training and Salchar might be the only thing keeping them alive. Without rules there is chaos, without teamwork there is no hope. As the Virtual Reality Mecha Assault Two Championships become a distant dream, a new one forms. A dream of freedom. A dream that will be paid in blood. The games are over.
