Operation Bounce House by Matt Dinniman is a fast-paced and darkly funny sci-fi adventure where corporate greed turns survival into a spectacle. Oliver Lewis never wanted much just a quiet life running his family ranch on the colony world of New Sonora. But when Earth reconnects with the planet, everything changes and not for the better.
A powerful corporation launches an “eviction” of the settlers, but instead of a traditional military operation, they turn it into a twisted form of entertainment. Wealthy players from Earth remotely control deadly machines, treating real lives like part of a high-stakes game.
Suddenly, Oliver and his friends are forced into a brutal fight for survival. With limited resources, old tech, and sheer determination, they must outsmart opponents who see this as nothing more than fun.
Sharp, chaotic, and unexpectedly emotional, this story blends action, humor, and heart into something completely unforgettable.
