About this ebook

In the year 2145...after disobeying a direct order, former special ops Marine Lieutenant John Kane found himself stripped of his rank and reassigned to the "U.S. Space Marines" -- the private army of the Union Aerospace Corporation. Now little more than a glorified security guard, Kane reluctantly accepts his fate on Mars City, the environmental community/lab center on the legendary red planet.

But Kane could never have imagined the unspeakable horrors that awaited him there -- nightmarish aberrations of nature and unholy unions of flesh and machine awakened by unsuspecting researchers attempting to divulge the arcane secrets of this planet's extraordinary past. As the terrifying violence grows, Kane and a ragtag band of survivors must call on all of their skills if they can ever hope to make it out of Mars City alive -- even as those at the highest echelons of power continue their own covert and deadly machinations in a relentless bid to seize the ultimate source of power....

Ratings and reviews

It very much differs from the game especially when it has a female protagonist and when the Marine only carries two weapons sadly since the ending was a cliffhanger with no sequel this brings a lowering In its quality especially those who expected it

Ok, ok, same problem as the first book. The sample says 338 pages and yet the full version says 183. I am extremely worried im missing something here. Someone help please

It was a pretty good read. Is there a third book in the series? They need to continue with where it left off.
