A Short Story.

What starts as a routine patrol becomes a desperate fight for survival.

When Bravo Squadron is sent to investigate a seemingly perfect, uncolonized planet, starfighter pilots Devon and Jadsia expect boredom, not a battlefield. But Prexis IV holds secrets—and salesmen. Ambushed by adaptive drones, hounded by intelligent missiles, and stalked through the jungle by machines that learn with every shot, they discover the planet is a live-fire demo for the galaxy's most terrifying weapons company.

The pitch is simple: watch the product in action—or die trying.

As the demonstrations escalate from UAVs to disruptor cannons and planet-busting missiles, Devon and Jadsia must make the ultimate choice: surrender their pride, or kiss their cruiser—and the entire planet—goodbye.

Darkly funny, fast-paced, and packed with high-tech thrills, Deal of the Century is a satirical sci-fi adventure with bite.
