The Man the Tech-Men Made

"The Man the Tech-Men Made" by Fox B. Holden, throws readers into the life of Jon Kane, a youthful Earth descendant, amidst a futuristic world controlled by the Intergalactic Technical Alliance (ITA). Facing accusations of heresy and tech rebellion, Kane must move through hostile worlds as he deals with big ideas around authority, learning, and staying alive in a galaxy where new ideas are scary. At first, the book shows Kane's intense escape across the tough desert of Procyon before he is caught. Going further, the storyline moves to his court hearing, revealing his history and the tech goals that conflict with the ITA's unfair rules. Although young, Kane's smarts are clear when he admits to making tools that are not allowed and trying to fix a broken vehicle, which brands him as a troublemaker. Facing death, he is saved by Majtech B-Haaq, who notices Kane's possible skills. This rescue starts a wild adventure through a divided galaxy, setting the scene for Kane's fight against the ITA.
