Synopsis: Given one last chance to save himself from death and dishonor, Captain Lannat is smuggled to a tyrannical planet to hunt down Etasalou, the man responsible for his arrest and disgrace. But Etasalou holds a position of unassailable power in a maximum security compound where he executes deadly 'scientific' experiments that turn men into killing machines. With the planet torn by rebellion, Lannat's warfare and recon skills will face extraordinary tests as he battles to overthrow the regime, destroy the heinous secrets behind the murderous mutated army, and redeem his good name once and for all.
