Operation Bounce House, by Matt Dinniman | Free Audiobook

When your planet becomes the game board

In Operation Bounce House, Matt Dinniman delivers a standalone sci-fi adventure about colonist Oliver Lewis, who just wants to run his family ranch on New Sonora and play music with his band. But when the transfer gate reconnects his isolated planet to Earth, everything changes. The government decides the settlers are in the way, and megacorporation Apex Industries gets hired to handle the eviction action with maximum efficiency and minimum expense.

Apex turns genocide into profit by creating a game where bored Earthers pay for the privilege of designing war machines and remotely piloting them to exterminate the colonists. Oliver and his friends suddenly find themselves fighting for survival against gamers who treat their lives as entertainment. Armed with aging agricultural bots, a grandfather's old engineering manual, and sheer determination, Oliver must figure out how to defend his home against an enemy that respawns and an adversary that sees them as nothing more than high-score opportunities.

Narrated by Travis Baldree and Jeff Hays, the audiobook brings energy and heart to a story that blends fast-paced action with humor and genuine emotion. From the New York Times bestselling author of Dungeon Crawler Carl, this is a tale about what happens when corporate greed meets human resilience, and when a group of scrappy colonists refuses to let their home become someone else's playground.
