Things are about to get strange!
Tek is an independent gear-maker who creates nanotech clothing that incorporates defensive mechanisms into the fabric. He's popular with the people who are frequent targets of hate crimes. The biggest nanotech supplier in Home City thrives on fear and will do anything to destroy him.
When Tek joins a team in a mixed-reality tournament that will determine control of nanotech production, he sets off a chain of events that puts everyone in the city at risk if they lose.
Can Tek win the game? Vanquish the villain? Save the world? And get his shot at living happily ever after? Will his ragtag group of local gear-makers prevail over the global corporate machine of fear and weaponry?
It becomes a race to the finish when the greatest threat of all steps into the arena and challenges Tek to his very core.
In a world that does everything to enforce conformity, how much bravery is required to be truly authentic?

Each of the Hopepunks novels is a complete standalone story that arrives at a satisfying conclusion. The main characters in each book do not continue into the next one. However, all the books share a common story world, some recurring characters, and a similar plot structure with a similar set of main characters.
