Flux: a secret project designed to turn men into supersoldiers. Only four stats going from F to S. Only fifteen known abilities. How complicated could it be? Turns out there's no margin for error. Fail to react to a sudden Flux Radar in half a second? A sniper might shoot you. Through the walls. Overlook some hidden Shock Troops? You'll get stabbed fifteen times before you realize they've already left. Get touched, however lightly, by a rare Mastermind? Whatever happens, it'll feel like it was your idea. On day one, Ben has already convinced himself he'll be the most badass soldier who ever lived. More valuable than his abilities or his tools, he's been given a community of kind, smart, ambitious teammates. It's a world besieged by polite but terrifying aliens, cunningly manipulative AI, a fertility plague, and every other apocalypse at once. He'll need to learn that teamwork beats heroics, self-improvement beats talent, and simple, well-executed plans beat convoluted ones.
