The message humanity sent into space… was answered. The CinderVirus doesn’t kill. It rewrites. Flesh. Steel. Minds. To stop it, humanity created weapons that are no longer fully human. L.E.O. is one of them, with a body so cold the environment freezes and needs a blazing sword to regulate his body temperature. While Otto isn’t, just a normal guy witnessing the street view of everything L.E.O might treat as just an annoyance. But as swarms breach the solar system, the line between weapon and human begins to blur, and both may be all that stands between survival and extinction.
