Humanity teeters on the brink of extinction. The Xi, an alien force with unparalleled technology, have infiltrated Earth's governments, weaponized its people, and devastated its resistance. Cities have fallen, leaders have been corrupted, and hope is scarce. Against this backdrop, the Resistance fights a desperate, shadowy war to preserve what little remains of humanity’s independence. Commander Max Wilson, conscripted by chance, is now an augmented soldier enhanced with advanced alien biotech. He has become one of the Resistance’s most effective operatives. Sharing his body and mind with Mia, an advanced artificial intelligence, Max operates with an uncanny blend of human instinct and machine precision. Together, they lead daring missions that defy protocol and push the boundaries of what the Resistance believes is possible. Kendall Wolfe, a former cop, is driven by an unyielding sense of justice. Kidnapped and nearly killed by Xi collaborators, she has a personal vendetta against the aliens and those who betray humanity to them. Lucian Winchester is a resourceful criminal and an enforcer of the underworld. Though his motivations are suspect, his skills in infiltration and deception make him an invaluable asset. As the team undergoes grueling training, they are thrust in the beginning toward a dangerous mission. The mission tests their abilities, forcing Kendall and Lucian to confront the horrors of Xi’s methods, the moral gray zones of their own actions, and their uneasy partnership. For Max and Mia, the stakes are higher, as their unconventional approach draws the ire of Resistance leadership while revealing cracks in the long-standing strategies of Earth’s defense. Faced with collaborators who sell out humanity for personal gain, human drones that enforce Xi’s will, and forced mind-controlled humans stripped of free will, Max and his team must navigate a war where every move could mean the difference between survival and annihilation.
