A derelict Tucanan ship, floating in space. An intel bonanza that can help turn the tide of the war . . . or a trap?

The only way to find out is to send in the Undead.

As the Tucanan war machine continues to evolve and try new tactics, all of humanity must evolve as well, and the Undead seem to be the guinea pigs for each dangerous mission.

It isn’t just the alien Tucs who are a danger. Rumors of unholy science still bandy about social media, and when battalion counter-assaults on Chinook to take back the planet, one of the Marines is killed and recovered by the locals. When they perform an autopsy, they discover . . . they don’t know what it is, only that it isn’t normal.

With their secret about to be exposed, and with the threat of death or mindwipe, just how far will Pax and the rest of the Undead Marines go to protect their secret? Perhaps more pertinent, how far will their puppet masters back at Cape Town go?

Follow Pax, Olivia, and the rest of the Undead as they face danger from two fronts. The entire Undead project, and possibly the war with the Tucanans, hangs in the balance.
