From the author of the sensational global bestselling Dungeon Crawler Carl series comes a brand new epic standalone . . .

All colonist Oliver Lewis ever wanted to do is run the family ranch and keep his family's aging fleet of intelligent agriculture bots ticking. But when his planet's transfer gate finally opens and restores instant travel and full communication between Earth and his planet, New Sonora, there's a complication. The colossal Apex Corporation is hired to commence an \""eviction action.\"" and they charge bored Earthers for the opportunity to design their own war machines, remotely pilot them and make it a game. Oliver and his friends soon find themselves fighting for their lives against these machines. But with the help of an old book from his grandfather, Oliver is determined to defend the only home he's ever known.

Reviews for Operation Bounce House

Irreverent yet heartfelt, nostalgic yet wholly original, with Operation Bounce House, Dinniman delivers another anarchic adventure rich with riotous characters and a plot that crackles towards chaos with all the alacrity of a dynamite fuse. * Pierce Brown, bestselling author of Red Rising * Creative and well-written as ever, Operation Bounce House reminds me how much storytelling a great writer can pack into a single volume. * Will Wight, bestelling author of The Cradle Series *
