The steel gates of the Hawthorne fortress locked shut.

The deafening mechanical boom echoed across the dark Silver Lake neighborhood. The sound signaled the death of their only hope.

The starving elites stood pressed against the frosted glass doors of the apartment lobby. Their breath fogged the cold panes. They watched Logan Carter steal their military transport.

Outside in the howling polar blizzard, Leonard Pierce was already a motionless lump in the deep snow. The cowardly bureaucrat was fr

  • The Warlord's Gate

    "We march to reclaim our stolen harvest."Makhal addressed his gathered horde in the frozen ruins. His deep voice carried over the howling wind."The northern parasites hide behind their metal doors," Makhal told his army. "They feast on the beast that belongs to the ice. We will break their walls and drag them into the snow."The two hundred cannibals roared their approval. They slammed their scavenged weapons against the frozen asphalt. The rhythmic pounding signaled their march to war.Makhal turned toward the northern border. He led the army out of the dense southern ruins. They did not carry their raw hide shields today. They marched in two long columns flanking a weapon engineered for total annihilation.A severed bridge girder spanned the frozen distance between the columns. The Hogul Dah had ripped the structural support from a collapsed overpass. Thick iron chains looped around the oxidized steel beam. Fifty pale giants hoisted the brutal battering ram upon their broad should

  • The Kinetic Core

    "Evade the target right now!"Eric screamed the frantic command over the secure radio frequency. The digital audio hissed violently against the howling mountain wind."The seismic sensors are peaking off the scale," the engineer continued from the bunker control room. "You have a massive biological entity rising directly beneath your boots. Jump off the glacial shelf before it breaches.""I am not moving," Logan replied.The colossal Glacial Serpent reared its head above the shattered ice. Pale translucent scales reflected the blinding blizzard. The monolithic beast blotted out the gray storm clouds above the frozen peak. It opened a jaw wide enough to swallow a commercial vehicle and bared its crystalline fangs."The telemetry shows a surface temperature of absolute zero on those scales," Eric begged over the comms. "If that creature touches you, your cells will flash freeze on impact. You cannot survive that level of thermal drain.""I must test the internal furnace," Logan stated.

  • The Subzero Crucible

    "Your core temperature just plummeted past negative one hundred and fifty degrees!"Eric screamed the warning through the earpiece. The radio static hissed violently against the howling wind."You are approaching the threshold of total organ failure," Eric continued. "The biometrics are flashing red across my console."Logan dragged his exhausted torso over the final icy ledge of the towering mountain. The wind shear at the apex of the glacier threatened to peel the flesh from his bones. The temperature defied all natural physics."I am holding the summit," Logan gasped into his chest rig. His breath materialized as thick white crystals in the freezing air."The telemetry indicates your lungs are crystallizing," Eric warned. "You cannot survive this exposure. The human body is not built for this atmospheric layer. Come back down to the city grid. We need you here.""The Alpha cannibal resides in the city," Logan grunted. He pulled his heavy boots onto the flat glacial shelf and forced

  • The Fireworks Protocol

    "Get the reserve militia to the roof access hatch right now."Eric barked the command over the secure radio channel as he sprinted from the main control room. He pushed his legs hard up the concrete stairwell, taking the cold steps two at a time. His lungs burned from the exertion, yet he ignored the fatigue to reach the top landing. He found Marcus and Ashton waiting near the door."We need the sealed cardboard crates from the secondary storage locker," Eric told the commanders between ragged gasps for air. "Bring them out onto the ice."Ashton grabbed the handle of the metal storage unit and ripped the lock off with his bare hands. He dragged a crate onto the freezing concrete roof. The teenage commander tore the top open to reveal thick cylindrical tubes packed with commercial grade paper."These are standard fireworks," Ashton said. He looked at the colorful explosives in pure confusion. "You want to fight an army of monsters with bottle rockets?"A sharp laugh escaped Eric's thro

  • The Flesh Phalanx

    "Slide your barrels through the carved gaps!"Doran shouted the command over the howling blizzard. He crouched behind the thick perimeter wall of the Hawthorne courtyard.The incomplete barricade consisted of dense ice oak timber stacked high and packed with frozen slush. Ten elite Vanguard soldiers dropped to their knees behind the fortified wood. They shoved the steel barrels of their rifles through the murder holes Doran had engineered into the barricade."Target the front line," Doran ordered. He peered through his own scope.Fifty Hogul Dah cannibals charged across the neutral asphalt. The pale giants shrieked, their voices blending into a terrifying chorus of bloodlust. They bounded across the black ice on all fours to maintain their unnatural speed."Distance is one hundred yards," Doran called out the metric. "Fire!"The ten soldiers pulled their triggers simultaneously.Heavy caliber rounds tore across the frozen divide. The deafening gunfire cracked through the storm.The ar

  • The Engineer's War

    "Leave the logs."Ashton issued the command in a ragged whisper. He crouched behind the pulverized brick wall and stared across the neutral asphalt. The Hogul Dah siege camp crawled with hundreds of pale giants preparing for an imminent assault."We need the timber to build the barricade," Mill argued. He hoisted his heavy iron axe. "We cannot stop working.""We are out of time," Ashton replied. He turned away from the terrifying sight.He pointed at five members of the Vanguard squad. "You five hold this position. Guard the timber we already cut. Hide in the ruins and do not engage the enemy under any circumstance."He turned to Mill, Sarah, and the remaining three soldiers. "Drop your tools. Take only your weapons. We are sprinting back to the bunker.""Logan ordered us to harvest," Sarah reminded him."I am giving you a new order," Ashton commanded with absolute authority. "We must warn the camp before that horde crosses the border line. Move."Ashton sprinted north through the sha
