Failing Gravity (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798890222978)

Roman Koa knows that to survive, he must be ruthless.The Slums beneath the floating city of Icaria were never meant to thrive-but they did. A gritty junkyard city of thieves and robot fighters, it's everything Icaria isn't. Roman has grown greedy after clawing his way to the top of the robot fighting hierarchy with his powerful electromagnet robot, taking from anyone who crosses his path. When Icarians come to the Slums for a night of risky entertainment, Roman takes twice as much.But when he's offered the chance to steal advanced tech from Icaria, the job is too tempting to resist-even with Oliver Flint offering it, his former best friend who sold their robotics code for a new life in Icaria. Without Roman.The job is simple: Roman helps Oliver save Icaria's failing gravity beams, and Roman gains access to technology to build powerful robots to secure his position as King of Ring and King of the Slums. Roman's hatred for Icaria is hard to ignore, though and he is tempted to let the city Oliver betrayed him for crash back to Earth, but dooming Icaria means dooming everyone.As Icaria's gravity-and Roman's fragile bond with Oliver-fails, Roman must choose: will he let Icaria crash, or is there a chance for forgiveness, for both his friend and the city?Failing Gravity is a high-octane, cyberpunk-inspired adventure about friendship, betrayal, and the fight for forgiveness.
