As distribution spreads across the world the results of a Starbirth pandemic are feared as criminal and insane Shifters wreak havoc. Lock and a small unit of covert operatives are given the task of finding the source of Starbirth and shutting it down, but their efforts are hindered by corrupt, ruthless people with their own agendas.

The first major system event has arrived as all the major factions of Earth converge…

Vampires of old who have long been dormant are awakened from their slumber, with each one appearing only stronger than the one before.

Would he find the ultimate challenge from the vampires or his fellow man?

Which means Joshua Calvert has to find Dr. Mzu and bring her back before the alchemist can be reactivated.

But he's not alone in the chase, and there are people on both sides who have their own ideas about how to use the ultimate doomsday device.
