The Discount Hero

One moment, a medic is lying to a dying man under a collapsing ceiling; the next, he wakes up in a new body on a world with two moons, facing a glowing hand that offers him an "Assignment." Thrust into a bizarre academy where his new role is "Field Medic, Level One," he's at the absolute bottom of a system he doesn't understand, with a body that isn't his own. Every other cadet seems to know his fate, and the ranking board confirms his dismal standing. With only four weeks until a brutal evaluation involving "real cores, real teeth," he must master a new self and a new world, or face an end far worse than the one he escaped. Can a man who's always fought impossible odds survive when the odds are literally stacked against him in a game he never asked to play?
