Sergeant Trent Cain and his band of space rangers are sent on a mission so secret they can’t even be told their destination. As they lock into their sleep machines for the ten month journey, Cain is apprehensive and angry. When they wake, twenty-two months have passed, and the ship is about to crash into an unknown moon. The rangers manage to escape in emergency pods, but what they find on the surface of the moon is a horror they never imagined, and one they can’t fight. What was the mission? The surprise ending will make you shiver.
