“It doesn’t get easy. You never get used to it. You just have to accept it. This is the life of a soldier.”

A life none of us chose.

After six months in service for the Sector Protection Force—SPORE—Ashley Brown is exactly what she never wanted to be: an expertly trained killer who can take down the Infected in droves. Assigned to a new crew on the trail of a weapon that has the power to save humanity, Ashley is careful to keep her comrades at a distance, knowing there’s no point letting them in today when she’ll probably stumble across their remains tomorrow.

But when their trail leads them into a den of darkness and death, everything changes in an instant, and Ashley will be forced to consider: is one life worth everyone else’s?
