When a deadly plague arrives on Genesis, Noemi is the only soldier to have ever left the planet. It's up to her to save its people -- if only she wasn't flying straight into a trap. On the run to avoid his creator, Burton Mansfield, Abel hears that Noemi has been captured -- by Mansfield. Abel knows he must go to her, no matter the cost.
