With Arizona united under the corporate auspices of Silken Sands, Dearth Local is in retreat—and Tyson has earned himself some nice R and R.
Or so he thought. Now, just a month after Day 1, mysterious beasts are plaguing his land. A powerful armada tears through the sea. An angry Beholder threatens his workers... And a powerful tsunami has signaled the arrival of an even more powerful affiliate. A singular monster that assimilates its workers into the ever-growing hivemind that is its corporate structure, Kraken threatens not just to end Tyson and his fledgling affiliate. It threatens to destroy Nu-Earth itself. As bull markets turn bear and hostile agents vie to corner the local market, Tyson must find a way to not just bankrupt his rivals and hold on to his market shares... He must find a way to unite the planet.
