Hounds of Orion: Book One

In the future, gods don’t descend from the heavens - they pilot war machines.

The year is 2848. Wars aren’t won by nations - they’re brokered by corporations. A.R.M.S. pilots, warriors bound to towering mechs with the firepower of gods, fight for fame, fortune, and survival in the ruthless chaos of Free Space.

Cameron Pellyn was born a prince.

Now he's nothing but an exile with a stolen name and a death warrant hanging over his head. Betrayed by the very people who raised him, he has only one shot at reclaiming his life: enter the mercenary arena and rise through the ranks of A.R.M.S. combat.

But nothing about surviving as a rookie pilot is easy.

The battlefield is brutal, his mech is a relic, and his only ally is Logan - an ex-Guard Captain with a sharp tongue and a buried past.

To endure, Cameron must become more than a pilot.

He must become a weapon.

As war looms and an old enemy resurfaces, Cameron is forced to choose: cling to the past - or forge a new future in fire and steel.

Perfect for fans of Gundam, Iron Widow, Red Rising, and The Expanse.

• Gritty mech warfare • High-stakes space opera • Weak-to-strong character arc • Morally gray decisions • Political intrigue, personal vengeance, and found family

The Hounds of Orion are ready for war.

And Cameron Ket is done running.
