Redemption
Arigus Vanes thought that unveiling his past would enlighten him. Spark some sense of guiding purpose in his life. Who he is. Why he is running.
Instead he is thrown into a war between the Segmentum, led by Kaitus and Vongromas, and twisted abominations of the Black Blood Virus. Arigus has no idea where, much less who his friends are in the pandemonium as he searches for them across the refugee camps. Between all the horrors he encounters in his journey across Kingston, the greatest of all is himself. Still coming to grasps with the revelations of his life, he realizes Itarus had changed him somehow, granting him a vast array of abilities that he can barely comprehend.
Powers that make him a god amongst men. Powers that make him question not who he is, but what.

Liked it just as much as the first. Took me a while to get used to the shift in story, as it went from the whole "being chased" feel to "zombie apocalypse." At first I didn't really see how a zombie-pandemic would work in a sci fi universe with battle suits and advanced weapons to work, but a few pages into Redemption answered that. Probably the one thing I liked more in Redemption than Condemned was that Redemption really dug into Arigus' character due to his "origins" which I won't reveal as it'd be a plot spoiler. I really wasn't sure how you could develop Arigus with him "knowing everything," but it seems that very knowledge becomes a curse and takes a big toll on Arigus, turning him from what I thought was a hero into something in the middle. Thankfully there was a lot of comic relief, far more so here than in Condemned, that really helped offset some of these darker themes.
Except for those differences, everything else was consistent with Condemned. Overall, it was another great read.
