Synopsis: Between the alien Alliance and the
Terran Empire, a neutral zone stretches between the galaxies, a demilitarized
zone that was established 150 years previous, following the Great War. The
peace accord granted a semblance of peace to the universe. The peace, however,
is a facade, and it is the responsibility of Michael Vance and his covert
operations team to maintain that illusion.
Recently, the Alliance lost contact with one of their outposts near the neutral zone. Surveillance scans show an abandoned city and no signs of life. The Alliance does what it always does: send in the best. But an unexpected betrayal leaves Vance and his team stranded. Worse, the city that was supposed to be dead is quite alive. And the monsters that now roam its streets are slaughtering his team, one at a time.

the three warriors must find a way to destroy the Terran fleet. But the Terrans
have a secret weapon: a biological agent sold to them by an renegade smuggler.
Now it's a race against the clock to capture the smuggler before the Terrans
