eBook by Rob J. Hayes
Born talentless, Iro has all but resigned himself to a life of drudgery — watching others hop across massive space titans for supplies. When a titan explodes and his sister is killed, Iro finds new determination to take her place. When the fleet encounters a new titan filled with powerful monsters, deadly traps, and mysterious cloaked figures, Iro is the first to spontaneously manifest a new talent. Sent to a different ship to train with others far beyond his strength, Iro will have to work twice as hard just to catch up — and to uncover the mysteries of the titans.

Born talentless, Iro has all but resigned himself to a life of drudgery — watching others hop across massive space titans for supplies. When a titan explodes and his sister is killed, he finds new determination to take her place. When the fleet encounters a new titan, Iro is the first to spontaneously manifest a new talent. Sent to a different ship to train with others far beyond his strength, he must work twice as hard just to catch up — and to uncover the mysteries of the titans.

Iro and Emil have opened their first Gates and proved the fleet's Hoppers aren't stalled. Thrown into a new squad with an explosive Mage, a cursed Surveyor, and a Vanguard with shady motives, they delve deeper into the titan than ever before. There are bizarre things in the depths: pitch-black oceans, nests of swarming monsters, and Spires that rip through the titan's hull. What purpose do the Spires serve, and can Iro and Emil reach the top in time?

After surviving the Spire and opening their Second Gates, Iro and Emil are named Heroes of the Fleet. But the Raider Fleet, demanding ownership of the wing, forces the Home Fleet into a grand martial tournament — Hopper against Raider. Can Iro and Emil fight their way through the competition to claim the title of Fleet Champion? And why are the Black Cloaks so eager to see who wins?

Iro has left the home fleet to join the Black Cloaks, eager for the power and answers they've promised. But danger lurks deep in the titan core, and some revelations are more than he can bear. War has come to the Home Fleet, and the new Squad Four find themselves on the front lines again and again. A new threat lurks in the depths: monsters banding together, all bearing a golden crown — and some old enemies are not as dead as believed.
