A new threat stands in the way of peace.

The RSA is finally eliminated. Looking to the future, President Sherman founds an elite squad of soldiers-the Hunters-who he will use for strategic missions as part of restoring the stability of the country.

Their first mission will take them to the heart of a city ravaged by Morningstar...but not everyone agrees with Sherman's vision for the future. Threatened by new enemies on all sides, will Sherman and his allies be able to survive long enough to see the Hunters succeed on their inaugural mission? Or will dissident factions looking to release the deadly Morningstar Strain back out into the world succeed where others have failed, and bring humanity back to its knees?
