In 2219 immortality belongs to the rich. The rest of humanity is just a byproduct. Agent Bucket had a simple assignment: audit the Specters—a military unit fighting a losing war against the immortal Net Lords. Their goal: to free their vat-grown human hosts. It was supposed to be a routine assignment to assess efficiency. Instead, everything falls apart. Hunted as a Lone Wolf with his back against the wall, Bucket must scramble to form a trusted team to face lethal enemies powered by high-tech echo-suits; and worse, saboteurs from within his own ranks. Betrayed and facing a sea of Net Lords, can his newly formed ragtag team of bio-engineered and cybernetically augmented soldiers make a difference against an army of immortals?    ***UNTIL THE END OF AUGUST ONLY 1 CHAPTER PER WEEK*** Release Schedule: Currently 2 chapters per week (Released Thursdays and Saturdays; Often more will be released, bonus chapters based on milestones/mood!)
