Marauder - Circuit breaker
America, near future. The alien 'Harvesters' occupy Earth, controlling major cities while suburbs descend into lawlessness. The occupation happened within days of the ships' arrival, leading to the collapse of government and military command. Mike Reeves, 34, a former electrical engineer at a mid-sized tech company, has an average build and looks. Living in suburban Phoenix when the invasion happened, he has no military background and is an ordinary guy who enjoys tinkering with electronics, homebrewing, and camping. His garage contains a workshop, tools, components, and many unfinished projects. The aliens didn't come to destroy humanity. They came for something much more unsettling: they came for us. But some humans started changing in ways no one expected-not turning into aliens, not staying completely human, but transforming into something entirely new. This is the story of a man forced to adapt beyond recognition while fighting to retain his humanity. Ordinary people face impossible choices, discovering that survival sometimes requires becoming what they never thought possible. Marauder: Circuit Breaker isn't about technology or invasion-it's about consciousness-what defines us, how much we can change while remaining ourselves, and what happens when evolution defies plans. The circuit has been broken. Something new is about to emerge.
