Pandora's Box

Pvt. Brewer is a military brat living in a “utopian” world. Following in her father’s footsteps, she enlists in the Vanguard. She fought her way to the top of her chauvinistic class at the Academy, earning the right to join the world’s most elite peacekeeping force. Life, like the world, was perfect: she was surrounded by great friends, had an adoring family, and was engaged to a handsome fiance.

But an enigmatic leader known only as “the Overlord” rises up behind the walls of the New Iron Curtain that cages the oppressed Camp Countries. He rallies the Undesirables — criminals, Neo-Communists, Muslim extremists, and countless others — on whose backs the “utopia” was built, around a common enemy. Not content with an army, he unleashes a deadly virus that destroys everything Brewer holds dear, shifts the balance of power, and plunges the world into global war. She joins the fight, vengeance slowly eating away at her with every friend she loses on the battlefield, but no amount of bloodshed slakes her thirst for revenge. Only after killing some of the virus’ zombie-like victims when they’re used as cannon fodder by the Overlord’s “New Order” does guilt overwhelm her, pushing her to the brink of suicide.

Wavering between despair and her father’s faith, she accepts a top-secret mission to help defend a base that now houses the world’s last stockpile of WMDs as part of a disarmament program intended to end the war, in hopes of finding redemption. But the New Order attacks. Col. William Brewer — her father and C.O. — tasks her with putting the base into lockdown, and she nearly dies doing so. Now she is the sole protector of a coveted Pandora’s Box.

Can one woman halt the apocalyptic ambitions of a relentless dictator?

Do you dare open Pandora’s Box to find out?
