Description

Atomic warheads dropped from orbit have ripped the world apart, leaving the few survivors holed up in a sealed outpost known as Project Star. In this stark new frontier, Dr. Alan Rackham is tasked with rooting out the traitors who may have helped the missiles fall, all while questioning whether the hunt is really for someone else—perhaps even himself.

The story opens with a chilling accident in the welding bay: a high‑temperature torch melts a worker’s hand, yet the man walks away claiming he feels no pain. When Alan and his loyal companion Brave rush to help, the victim vanishes, and moments later an unseen assailant fires at Alan, barely missing his chest. Their cramped brick house on the colony’s edge becomes a temporary refuge where survival, suspicion, and the thin line between bravery and madness intersect.

Against the backdrop of a scorched landscape, the first act sets a tense, claustrophobic atmosphere, hinting at deeper conspiracies and the razor‑thin margin between life and extinction.
