On the sunless rogue planet of Niflheim, ninety-five percent of the population are labeled "Scum"—jobless, heavily armed, and trapped underground. KZ-2124 wanted out. He trained daily for the elite space expedition, only to discover a childhood sin has blacklisted him forever. Left with nothing but a massive, momentum-storing rifle and a dying dream, KZ must make a terrifying choice. To bypass the system, he must wager his own consciousness and will on a gamble that could give him everything—or leave him unrecognizable.
