Rebellion on Planet Sarvage

Summary

Under a death sentence on two planets, a hero, an outcast, the sole link to an ancient civilization, and the Champion of All Larches, he's Elias of Earth. He's an experienced explorer, a clever scientist, and a terrible planner. Another plan gone amiss pushes him to escape through a quantum portal to the planet of Sarvage, where he finds an alien race rebuilding after a devastating war.

With the help of an alien AI embedded in his skull, Elias seeks to blend in, help rebuild, and maybe find a home. Except that each plan leads to more trouble until he finds a research lab on an isolated mountain. Will he be the assistant...or the test subject?
