Desperate tyrants often resort to desperate tactics...regardless of their species.
After suffering a near-catastrophic defeat by Terran Fleet Command, the Pelaran AI strain gambles on a bold, “hands-on” approach to controlling the destiny of a human world. On the pre-industrial world of Didara 4, Dryden Beck awakens alone in the depths of the Scarsdow Forest, knowing that he has murdered thousands of his own people, but with no memory of how or why.
He soon discovers that he has been forever changed; modified against his will to serve as the most powerful weapon in the arsenal of a ruthless puppet master bent on total domination. Stripped of powers he never wanted but now desperately needs, Dryden finds himself caught in the middle of a war in which both sides - those he once sought to destroy as well as his former master who forced him to do so - see him as their most dangerous and hated adversary.
To prove his allegiance, Dryden’s only choice is to flee. It is a journey that will take him across a region where opposing sides seek to destroy one another, and wielding technologies are introduced centuries before their time, supplied by a mysterious benefactor whose motivations remain unknown.
With the help of a pair of enigmatic Grey aliens, can this lone human regain control of the same deadly weapons he once used to slaughter his own people in time to save them?

The story takes place maybe a few years after the main Terran Fleet Command Saga. Exact time is unclear, I'd guess no more than 5 years or so.
Basically we have a lost human colony in the wild west type era of their world and one of the Pelaran guardian AIs is here trying to subjugate the natives. It's not totally evil from his point of view, it's simply how he is implementing the Peleran 'cultivation program' where they uplift certain worlds up to specific technological stages in order for them to become powerful and further expand the influence of the Pelaran Alliance.
The book has elements if litrpg stuff, where the main character has hidden abilities that unlock as time goes on.
This personally felt incredibly out of place to me in the Terran Fleet Command series. This series has nailed things like the tactical implications of tech advantages, interspecies diplomacy, and the intricacies of uplifting and enlightening lesser advanced cultures. This book has none of this.
The main reason I'm leaving this review, however, is the ending. Or rather, the lack thereof. You have the main character talking to the bad guy, a couple other things happening at the same time. Rather large implications for the universe of Terran Fleet Command that connects to the main story. And within literally 10 minutes of this, that connection is outright CUT and no longer relevant, and without ending the story, the bad guy leaves the area, and the book just ENDS.
???
I don't even know. If an ending can ruin a book for you, don't read this. If you want a bit more background info for the Terran Fleet Command series, this book does have some of that, but even so, it's absolutely not a sequel of any kind. And as I put in my review, the one connection to the previous books that actually made me excited to get to the end, had absolutely ZERO payoff and singlehandedly took this story down another point for me.
It's very strange how average this book is considering how much I loved the main series. I feel that this story could have been much better if the author didn't feel compelled to lump it into the same universe. I totally understand why fans like other and myself could like it because it could have pulled off something really cool, but this one was a total dud.
Where is the ending?
