The Network wages a brutal war. For every person that Stormrise saves from the Network's oppressive thumb, another two die in their place. Mark Northfield struggles against the relentless despair created by warring within a post-apocalyptic world. He tries to support his friends, but it's a losing battle. His enemy, General Arkland, revels in the despair. Arkland will annihilate Stormrise by any means, and instilling hopelessness is one of his many tools. Worse yet, Arkland has manpower and technology on his side. With the creation of a dangerous new weapon codenamed V2, he aims to not only end the war, but any chance of resistance. Forever. Despite how stacked the odds are against Mark Northfield, he won't give up the fight. Not when his friends and the future of New Medea hang in the balance.
