He also wants to destroy Charger R/T because he won’t join Abarth’s game plan. Everyone’s schemes are complicated by Pennington, a religious woman who will worship any entity as long as it allows her to preach against science. To further confuse matters, Abarth’s crony, Jet, has discovered how to time-travel, and he sends Charger R/T bouncing through time, intervening in Gray attacks and, along the way, honoring a request to destroy heaven. Charger R/T gradually develops the powers of a god and eventually must fight thousands of black spheres and alien Crenels.

Charger Chronicles 2: Charger the Weapon

Charger Chronicles 2: Charger the Weapon

Lea Tassie

Fiction / Humor and Comedy / Science Fiction

Many years after the Mahoud war, Charger reflects on his bizarre life, a simple mechanic who became a vampire with werewolf allies, fighting aliens from a distant solar system. It's such B-movie material. Humanity created him because they needed a monster and he's still protecting them. He does what they cannot, yet they fear and despise him for it. A war on New Eden puts Charger back on the front line, but victory brings the bitter irony of learning that the Taskers are humans in bio-mechanical bodies. Then the ruthless alien Grays attack with the Night of the Black Rain, intending to destroy all humanity. Charger takes on the seemingly hopeless task of saving the human race once again. He welcomes death, but the serene oblivion doesn't last. The Prime Tasker resurrects Charger to wage yet another war and unintentionally recreates him with the powers of a god. A very angry god. The results are disastrous. The final threat to mankind's survival is a sentient, massive black sphere intent on revenge. Will Charger consent to save humanity again?
