The symbiont doesn't kill its hosts. It wears them - hollowing them out from the inside while leaving something that still walks, talks, and bleeds when it needs to lie convincingly. Dropped into a black spire crawling with corrupted Assets and this spreading horror, Michael Bishop has a narrow window to clear a path before the infection outpaces containment. Between rewired gear, a mind not quite stitched back together from his last mission, and a voice in his skull that isn't entirely on his side, Michael has to move fast - because in Tokyo, an old enemy named Sadhana is watching, and the Facility's next move depends on what Asset 108 can pull off before time runs out.
Cosmic horror meets high-tech espionage in the third installment of this genre-bending, universe-spanning saga.
