July 3rd, 2045. On the eve of Independence Day, the United States comes under a coordinated attack from its greatest enemies. Foreign neuro-microchips turn citizens and authorities against one another, blurring the line between friend and foe. Cities burn as invading armies move in to seize control. In Washington, D.C., the President and the Pentagon authorise the deployment of an experimental prototype known as Project Battle-Mech. Its only functioning unit is code-named Omega. Inside the mechanised suit, the last hope of turning the tide rests with a single pilot who believes the mission is nothing more than a simulation. Yet as Western civilisation collapses, Omega’s steel frame conceals a truth darker than any weapon. Buried deep within the history of the United States, it is a secret that could doom them all.
