Control of Etna Station is balanced on a knife's edge. A daring mission
to rescue a hostage will shake the foundations of the already crumbling
command structure, making way for enemies to emerge from outside, and
from within. Dewey, the advanced zombie, begins to assert his dominance
and reveals his ploy to master all humankind, while Vivian Deneaux shows
her hand, rigging the complex to blow if she's not given the keys to the
city.
Alliances will be strained and loyalties tested as lines drawn in the
sand become blurred and must be remade. Events are set in motion that
will forever alter the course of the base and the lives of its
inhabitants. It's a race for control, and with Mike and his company
stuck in jail, they are quickly losing precious ground and must discover
who their true allies are. Can the base be saved, or will the human
oasis amid the sea of death finally succumb to evil and corruption?
