Two soldiers declare a fight to the death, and give each other a year to plan. One starts a mercenary troupe, the other starts a domestic terrorism cell.
Meanwhile, a paralyzed billionaire invents robot bodies and becomes a cyborg. He tries to share this technology with disabled people everywhere, but instead his tech becomes a global arms race between those two soldiers.
The premise is ridiculous, so I wonder: how serious does the book play out, or is it self-aware enough to lampshade things?
It’s aware that it’s over the top, and it leans into it.
