The Perdition
In McKenna's war between himself, Freedom City, and the Golden Bough, he will learn that being human will kill you...
Elliot Draeger, once an Earth Federation scientist, was once motivated by curing the Black Cell. As a man of science, there was no solution he could not pursue in the name of human betterment. Now, years later, he has emerged as The Commander with a burning hatred for the Revente. Now he has created a new prize, Renatus, a genetically selective cure to the Black Cell, and he will risk everything to protect it. Armed with a deadly alliance with the notorius undercity gang Wargame, the naval might of the Tianglong Group, and the confidence of an ancient Order, Draeger aims to spark an uprising with the goal of uniting Earth against the Revente, Earth already sharing an animosity with the spacefaring species.
After being blackballed by the Earth Council, McKenna invokes the Seventh Mandate, the secret directive of an Earth Marshal to break all established laws in order to preserve the greater good, and uses it to hunt Draeger with the full force of Interpol's ISTF Division. But unknown to him, Draeger is calculated, experienced, and blinded by vision while McKenna is tranced with correcting a past that cannot be undone. An idea has poisoned them both and nothing will stop them from meeting their fates.
