He wanted his freedom. He just didn't realize the cost.

Bryan McAllister, a gifted young man working for the most corrupt corporation on Earth, wants nothing more than to free himself from his uncle Royal's ever-watchful eyes and to prove that Royal orphaned him. When he begins snooping where he shouldn't, his uncle sends him away under the guise of a promotion.

But being stranded in an abandoned Omega Technologies research facility is no promotion and Bryan soon finds out what sort of research went on there. Unfortunately for him and the team of mercenaries sent there to rescue him, the facility holds a very dark secret, one that may well claim all of their lives.

From Canadian fantasy and science fiction writer Ryan Fitzgerald, the author of The Legion Rises.
