Hell Breaks Loose
Despite unprecedented victories on the part of humanity, the war with
the alien Chiata Horde drags on. The Chiata may be bewildered by the
cunning tenacity of General Alexander Moore and the men and women who
fight at his side, but they have no intention of beating a hasty
retreat. In fact, intelligence suggests that the Chiata Invasion is at
hand, and with numbers sure to overwhelm humankind.
But hope has come from an unlikely source: the Thgreet, long-dead
inhabitants of a world ground under the heels of the Chiata millennia
ago. In the crumbled ruins of their homeworld is a map - and it may lead
to victory.
Meanwhile, Alexander Moore's daughter, Deanna Moore, now known by the
call sign "Phoenix," wages a personal war on the Chiata. Grievously
wounded in the battle for Thgreet and rebuilt with state-of-the-art
cybernetics, she leads a group of mecha-suited marines known as "The
Bringers of Hell." Once a tough-as-nails marine, she has been reborn as
an implacable scourge to the Chiata. And nothing will stand in the way
of her mission: to make the aliens pay.
