War bodies

Summary: Long ago, the Cyberat faction left Earth to co-evolve with machines. Now, led by the powerful dictator Castron, their Old Guard believe machines should replace the physical body. But these beliefs are challenged when emissaries arrive from humanity's Polity civilisation - their presence on Founder's World igniting rebellion. Piper was raised as a weapon against the Cyberat, implanted with concealed hardware. So when his parents are captured by the Old Guard, the Polity offers assistance. Piper knows the Polity wants to use him as a tool in its war with the alien Prador. Yet might this help be worth the cost? As civil unrest breaks out across his planet, Piper battles with the mysterious technology that lives within his bones - as well as with those in power. Yet will he swap old masters for new ones? Or can he seize control of his own destiny?
