Before us lies a harsh and dismal world in which the entire show is run by the omnipresent System. The people live in gloomy endless corridors, and they appear here not only devoid of memory, but also completely deprived of their limbs.

It has been 12 years since the dead began to walk. The Earth is overrun with the rotting corpses of humanity that swarm through the lands and devour everything in their path. The cities have become graveyards, their tall buildings morphing into giant, crumbling tombstones that watch over the carcasses of civilization while small clusters of the living hide amongst the ruins. The base is surrounded and running low on supplies, ammunition, and, above all, hope.

The world has turned the color of blood. The final strongholds in Europe and the United States have been extinguished in an orgy of tearing flesh and snapping teeth. The legions of dead swarm across the lands, growing in number as they infest the planet. Their insatiable hunger for living flesh is the only thing that drives them and is impossible to abate.

The mainland is lost, conquered by the armies of walking dead that now roam the earth. As the remains of the human race retreat to the islands, these ravenous monsters become the dominant species on the planet. Disease, famine, and death begin to spread through the cramped refugee camps, forcing the remnants of the government and armed forces to begin an offensive that would recapture the ground lost to the infected hordes. The survivors of the team are given a special mission that will top the scales against their rotting enemy.

As the flames of war threaten to engulf the globe, a new threat emerges. A deadly flu, the like of which no one has ever seen or imagined, relentlessly spreads, gripping the world by the throat and slowly squeezing the life from humanity. Eight soldiers, accustomed to operating below the radar, carrying out the dirty work of a modern democracy, become trapped within the carnage of a new and terrifying world. Deniable and completely expendable.

With the War Treaty signed, the Galactic Fleet is now on permanent stand down. But a treaty doesn't mean an end to the violence, corruption, piracy, or tyranny in the galaxy. The Galactic Fleet's solution is a crack team of Special Ops Marines: Drop Team Zero. Made up of the absolute fighting best from humans, alien races, hybrids, and even AI androids, Drop Team Zero is called on to handle the worst of the worst, missions that others would tag as pure suicide.

Corruption. Greed. Lust. Sins undercover Galactic Vice Detective Etch Knowles faces every day. Politicians on the take. Underground gambling. Sex trafficking. Another day at the office for Galactic Vice Lieutenant Angie McDade. Shaking down hustlers. Offering "protection" to bar owners. Cheating at tile games. Galactic Vice Detective Kalaka doesn't exactly play by the rules. A cargo barge filled with corpses. A potential war between crime syndicates. Traitors within the Galactic Vice. These are the nightmares the three must face.

It'll take all their training and skills to get out alive, let alone in one piece.

Razer Station is one of the most notorious stations in the galaxy. Criminals, con artists, freaks, rebels, junkies, and smugglers inhabit the space station that floats at the outer edge of civilization. It's Roak's kind of place. But, Roak isn't on Razer for a little R&R; he's there on a job. For Roak, it should be an easy job- track down an old tech that has been targeted by several corporations and deliver the tech to the corporations.

Robbed of his chits and betrayed by one of his oldest contacts, Roak is now on a rampage across the galaxy to hunt the duplicitous scumbag down and exact some serious payback. Bishop is on the run and Roak is right behind him. System by system, planet by planet, contact by contact, Roak leaves no rock unturned and no lead unchecked. He beats answers out of those who dare help Bishop. He kills those who refuse to answer. Roak is waging war on the criminal grapevine and no one is safe from his wrath.

Roak has a plan. It is not a good plan. It is not an easy plan. But it is a plan. And with a crew he doesn't want, a nemesis that is always one step ahead, and the power of the Galactic Fleet about to come down on him with all its might, Roak is going to need every ounce of his experience and skill as the galaxy's greatest and deadliest bounty hunter to execute the plan. If his infinite enemies don't execute him first!
