The premise, in the publisher's words
Year 2126. Earth was warned. No one listened. A classified signal pulsed from deep space. Governments dismissed it. Corporations buried it. And then it struck. Not a meteor. Not a bomb. Something alive. Within hours, entire cities were swallowed by black storms, and from the mist came “The Entity”—a colossal, unknowable lifeform accompanied by swarms of horrors and tall purging droids, tearing through concrete and bone alike. One city remains—a collapsing stronghold of screaming civilians, and dying hope. You are Ranger: Markus 4516, a Tier-0 super-soldier deployed under Directive X—the final protocol. Alongside your dwindling squad of elite operators, you’re dropped into a ruined warzone…
