Ren Madkro was tired of playing warlord for the aliens that had him on a leash, so when he finally got a chance to make some kind of normal life for himself on Earth, he had to give it his best shot. But the aliens had other plans for him. Madkro was just a common, poor, working-class human who never wanted anything but a good, healthy, well-balanced life. But things went badly for him in his youth and in one of his most desperate times, he made a mistake that continued to haunt him, years later. But never in a thousand years did he expect the aliens would use him again, against his will, against humanity on Earth in the 21st century.
