Never look at a mother. Never let a mother see your face. Always obey a mother’s directive. So what was Drone Niklas Loga supposed to do when a mother commanded him to look at her? Niklas grew up in an all-male, clandestine warrior cult devoted to harvesting and repurposing alien technology from fallen vessels. Every day he trained for war and vengeance—until the day he was exiled for blasphemy and cast into the land of his enemies. Trapped in a technologically primitive world where propriety and refinement are valued above valor and obedience, Niklas makes enemies at every turn as he tries to find his way back home to his brother. The strangest part of this new land is that mothers walk the streets, and Niklas is exposed to feminine influence for the first time. As he races to return home, he stumbles into one obstacle after another, struggling to navigate this alien landscape. Man Out of Time, Alien Among Us, Progression, New World, Slice of Life.
