The Eden virus is spreading. Blessing or curse, it's apparent that it can't be contained. For the poor and the sick, the Plague is a godsend, yet it puts those infected in the crosshairs of people who fear their own power is slipping away. When these desperate Edens turn to Daniel Markis and the Free Communities for help, he can't refuse.

The gripping conclusion to the Plague Wars series. Over 700 minutes filled with your favorite characters and the military science fiction action you have come to love.

When a friend disappears, Skull must track him down. When Spooky's family is sent to a death camp, he proposes a suicidal rescue, and only Reaper can lead it. Bogged down in a war with the rebel state of Alaska, at odds with Canada and meddling in Mexico's politics, the Unionist-controlled USA proceeds down an ugly path toward fascism, tyranny, and genocide.

When oppression by the Unionist-dominated federal government becomes intolerable, the Republic of Texas secedes from the United States. As the Unionists respond with immediate violence, Daniel Markis and Spooky Nguyen send Reaper and Skull on missions to help the fledgling nation survive in the face of overwhelming odds. Can they win through to establish a haven for Edens on North American soil? Or, shall the world edge further into darkness?

Colonel Muzik and Master Sergeant Repeth fight a life-and-death battle to return civilization to the nuked and plague-ridden nation's capital.

In the meantime, Brigadier Spooky Nguyen presses to build the world's first space battleship.

Skull mounts a one-man campaign to thwart the fascist Unionists, while Jill Repeth, Spooky Nguyen, and his team gamble their lives to change the course of the Second Cold War.

Sometimes defending those you love means risking everything and attempting the most dangerous task in the universe: making a planetary assault against a heavily entrenched enemy.

Three masters of military science fiction have come together here to tell harrowing tales of high-tech mayhem.

Als sie eine Antwort nach der anderen enthüllt, stellt sich ihr eine beunruhigende Frage: Wer ist der Jäger, und wer der Gejagte?

After barely fending off the insectoid Scourge, Admiral Absen frantically prepares for another attack while dealing with politics and treachery from within, even as Spectre pursues his own hidden agenda.
