FIGHT OR FLIGHT? That's the question the man known only as Rook must answer. Centuries in the future, Earth is a dying planet, choking on pollution and poverty. The wealthy purchase passage to new worlds, while the desperate work for the company that built them-the Better-World Corporation. After a fire reduced his family farm in Illinois to ashes, Rook took a job that came with a one-way ticket to Exodus, a terraformed planet where every aspect of nature is under human control. As a Warden, Rook commands the scavenger bird population. But when Exodus's World-Engine mysteriously failed, the rich fled, abandoning their workers. In the chaos, the Wardens' authority and tech fell into the wrong hands, turning their powers into tools of oppression. Now, with Exodus dying and overrun by factions fighting for dominance, Rook and his allies-such as the lawful Dire Wolf and the loyal Swine-must decide: will they fight against insurmountable odds or find a way to escape the collapse of another world?
