Age of Mechs: A Teen Mech Sci-Fi Novel

Every win brings him closer to his missing parents. Every win brings a ruthless enemy closer to him.

Fifteen-year-old Veeral reacts faster than any human should. In the ring, the whole world seems to slow down around him.

In a world where pilots fight giant mechs through VR headsets and haptic gloves, he reads attacks before they land and dodges blows no human should survive. But every burst of speed costs him. Push too far, and he blacks out in the middle of a fight.

Three years ago, Veeral’s parents vanished without a trace. Now he’s building his own mech alongside his two best friends. Their plan is simple. Enter the National Mech Championships and use the spotlight to find out what happened.

But someone else has noticed him. A ruthless oligarch, hungry for power and control over people, wants whatever makes Veeral faster than he should be.

If Veeral loses, his parents stay lost, the oligarch’s hold on the sport only grows, and everyone he loves becomes a target.
