Victim Zero
Summary
The plague was born from hope. It was meant to change the world. To cure the incurable and rebuild the broken. In the right hands, the organism known as Chimera had the potential to alter the course of human civilization for the better. Instead it was abused, rushed. The resulting outbreak caused the dead to rise and shattered everything man had built. When the world ended, the weight of its dead fell on the shoulders of the man at the heart of it all. For Kell McDonald, survival is not enough. Alone and surrounded by enemies, he must find a way to do what only he can: find a cure, and perhaps redemption.

Forced to choose between giving up one of their own and being free, or taking on a suicide mission and staying together, the decision wasn't hard to make. After months of forced training, they're ready to depart to a planet that shouldn't exist in a part of space that refuses to obey the laws of physics to steal technology they can't hope to understand. Just another day in the life of operatives in The Ghost Fleet.
