Epic large scale conflicts, unique environments and settings, engaging characters and back story and a slew of unbelievable weapons put you right in the heart of the action. Mankind is fighting for survival on EDN III. In addition to the extreme conditions on the frozen planet, the colonisers have encountered a deadly new alien foe - the Akrid. Emerging from the icy wastelands, these heat-seeking monsters seem impervious to human weapons. They rapidly devastate the human outposts, the survivors fleeing to the safety of space.
The remaining hardened warriors build small groups (snow pirate clans) - either determined to ascertain a method of fighting the Akrid threat, or of ransacking the ruins. In one of those groups, Wayne Holden and his father battle a desperate conflict against the biggest Akrid, the mythical Green Eye. Wayne sees his father die, before he too is encased in the icy blast of Green Eye’s attack.
Left for dead, Wayne is discovered virtually frozen by a snow pirate clan. Wayne’s memory is gone, all he can recall is confronting Green Eye prior to the ice closing in. One of his father’s inventions, locked to his arm, has saved him. Uniquely, it lets Wayne heal himself using the energy from Akrid bodies. Back from the ice and hungry for revenge, alongside his new associates, Wayne must track down Green Eye, fight for survival and save a lost planet on the edge of extinction.
