Once the sharpest weapon in the Meridian Concord’s arsenal, Strike Team Chimera is now a ghost. Disavowed and left for dead in the radioactive Fringes, they are haunted by the very institution they swore to serve. Their only hope for survival lies with Faith Newman, a soldier whose terrifying psychic abilities are both their greatest asset and a beacon attracting every predator in the shattered wastelands.

But the Concord is not their only enemy. As Chimera fights for every scrap of power and every ration pack, a horrifying new truth emerges: the apocalypse that broke their world was no accident. It was the first taste of a cosmic parasite, a hunger from another reality that is slowly, patiently devouring the universe. Guided by a mysterious scavenger with a legacy of guilt, the team must race to a forgotten research station, a tomb of pre-Fracture secrets that holds the key to Faith’s power and the nature of the world-ending ‘Fracture.’

Caught between the relentless pursuit of a ruthless Concord commander and a fanatical cult that worships the encroaching static, Chimera must confront a horror far greater than any battlefield. In a world being eaten alive, can a broken team of soldiers uncover the secret to fighting a hunger that consumes reality itself, or will their desperate mission only ring the dinner bell for the end of everything?
