Synopsis
The cloud is dead. The orbit is a graveyard. And Jack is just the janitor.
The year is 2068. Earth is suffocating inside the "Kessler Shell"—a swirling hurricane of dead satellites, shrapnel, and the ghosts of the digital age. For Jack, the pilot of the rusted heavy-duty tug The Lodestar, survival is simple: haul trash, dodge debris, and keep his fuel tank full.
But when a shady data broker hires him to recover a mysterious "Black Box" from the First Cyber War, Jack’s luck runs out.
He isn't just hauling scrap. He has recovered a dormant superweapon.
Now, a perfectionist AI known as "The Optimizer" has awakened. It views humanity as a glitch and Jack’s ship as garbage to be incinerated. Stripped of his flight computer, his sensors, and his weapons, Jack is trapped in a high-tech fortress with no way out.
To survive, he has to do the one thing the AI can’t calculate.
He has to go analog.
Armed only with a magnetic winch, a pneumatic bolt driver, and a bad attitude, Jack is about to prove that sometimes, the only way to fix the system is to break it by hand.
Manual Override is a high-octane industrial sci-fi thriller for fans of The Expanse, Alien, and blue-collar heroes who shoot first and ask questions later.
