Loving husband, goofy father, renowned starfish researcher–and his people’s last hope for survival.
Alone in the shadow of the giant, the small nation of the FLR fights for their freedom against overwhelming force. New Year’s Eve marked two months of war. It would take a miracle to last another, and that miracle had a name: Mystics. An alien race with supernatural command over the laws of nature, these eerily humanlike creatures might be the ultimate weapon. With the power to rip open the earth and swallow a city, drown villages in a violent flood, or set the world aflame, even one of these paragons could turn the tides of war. The only problem is, these weapons have their own agendas.
Enter Doctor Lee. Recruited by the military to decode the genetic blueprint of these otherworldly beings, Allen joins an elite team tasked with only one objective: give us our killing machines. Learn how to replicate the Mystics’ gift in human soldiers or find a way to reprogram the alien subjects. As orders for live experimentation stray further and further from the light, Allen must decide how far he’ll go to save his home from annihilation.
Is preserving life as you know it worth losing your soul?
