Every time he dies, Ethan Hill gains a little more power.
Earth was chosen for Integration, but Ethan knows from the second his Trial begins that the Integration is a lie. These creatures giving Earth the 'honor' of access to their Interface want something from Earth - he just doesn't know what.
Now he's trapped on an alien planet and lost in a time loop, fighting for strength and for his own humanity.
One thing's for sure: He'll die as many times as it takes to tear it all down.
