Project Icepack is thawed into a world they don’t recognize, a hundred years after their last mission. Their new assignment: descend to a blighted, overgrown Earth and pacify a bio-cult worshipping a mysterious god in the ruins of a dead metropolis.
But this time, the mission is a trap.
The cult’s charismatic leader, the Oracle, knows things he shouldn't. He knows the team’s handler, Quill, is not what she seems. And worse, he knows the secret, pre-cryo past of their leader, Dex Quillon—a past of sabotage and chaos that was supposed to have been erased forever.
Forced to confront the monster he helped create, Dex must fight a war on two fronts: one against a god in the machine, and one against the ghosts within himself. As the team's trust in their handler shatters and their own secrets are laid bare, they uncover the Accord's true, terrifying endgame for humanity.
To stop a god, you might have to team up with a devil. Especially when the devil is you.
