Description

Every year, 17,000 objects from outside our planet burn up in the atmosphere—dying before they can kiss the soil of our planet. They enter, immolate themselves via friction, and that is the end of their story.

Or at least most do…

In 2028, in a universe very much like ours, a small comet appears without warning and shocks the world. Thankfully, it is too small to be a threat, or so the experts believe.

Hours pass, and people across every nation flood hospitals and overwhelm the global infrastructure. Hundreds become thousands, then millions, then billions. Social and political flashpoints boil over in the chaos. Nations collapse, armies rise, and an opera of annihilation plays out for a captive audience. In a matter of weeks, the Cosmic Virus consumes everything in its path.

In its wake, survivors glimpse something beyond even the veil of reality.

There, unnatural powers exist, and they hunger for the souls of mankind.

While humanity enters its darkest hour, a conspiracy of bureaucrats and soldiers initiate a final throw of the dice. But the price for this gambit, this “Operation Firebreak,” is steeper than any other in human history.

It falls to Delta Force operator, Thomas Beckett, to make it happen.

Through his choices and sacrifices, humanity will live, die, or become a plaything for evils beyond reckoning.
