Fog

You don't hear death leaping at you. But I can hear you die. And I can see your body grow as grey and black as the soil that drinks your blood.

Micka never signed up to be a hero. Yet, here she is - at the front lines of humanity's desperate struggle for survival. Alone with Runner, she's about to march into battle against a terrorist organisation that vowed to wipe humanity off the planet. Or what's left of it.

Micka mastered the grim art of killing. Now, she must learn the true cost of survival in a world gone mad.
