Mike Anderson had given his all. For his country, for the mission, for his buddies. The Lacedaemon project, named for the ancient Spartans who spent their lives trying to create perfect soldiers, may offer back a little of what Mike spent so dearly. Although he will have to give up the life he knew; those same friends his sacrifice saved, the little brother who is all the family he has left, and potentially all that it is to be human. In return... well they've told him he will still have his lively hood, he'll still have a mission. And the project that saved him will have remade him better than the original Spartans could have imagined. He will be the dead soldier and he will have his revenge.
