"The sky above New York fractured in emerald fire, alien warships blotting out the sun as chaos reigned in the streets. In the aftermath of that first, devastating strike, reporter Elias Reed followed a single lead into the heart of Manhattan's darkest secret: Dark Sector, a top-secret military blacksite buried beneath layers of steel and stone. There, amid corridors slick with oil and the echo of distant gunfire, Reed stumbled into a vast chamber. Before him lay the Forerunner: a dormant alien machine titan of living crystal and rock-metal, its surface humming with latent power. As he reached for answers, a blinding surge of energy fused man and machine in a single, thunderous moment. When he awoke, the world had changed. Convinced the blacksite's directors had grafted his mind to this alien construct, Elias vowed retribution. No longer content to hide in shadows, he would hunt down every scientist, officer, and architect of Dark Sector, demanding the truths they buried beneath concrete and lies. Now, with city and sky still smoldering, the Forerunner emerges from the depths-an unrelenting force driven by one question: Who turned Elias Reed into a weapon... and what price must be paid to unveil the secrets of Dark Sector? Turn the page, and bear witness to the hunt through shattered corridors, burning streets, and the hidden depths of a conspiracy that threatens to consume man and machine alike."

Six months have passed since the fateful transmission that shattered the silence of a dead world. The Forerunner-a legend now lost to shadow-was silenced by the iron will of Supreme Executor Kamdread. The galaxy has turned its wary gaze elsewhere. But something ancient still stirs beneath the ashen skies of the former Synthex Collective homeworld. It is a call only the rarest can sense-a pulse that seethes with power and dread, echoing through the psionic depths of the void. Zarek of the Thulon Cabal, a lone Psi-Lord of the enigmatic Void-Discipleship, has heard the signal. Against the warnings of fallen heroes and the ghosts of a shattered rebellion, he sets course for the forbidden world, drawn by the promise of secrets that could alter the fate of all sentient life. What he finds in the ruins will challenge everything he believes-about power, about sanity, and about the price of reaching into the dark. Turn the first page and first bear witness to Psi-Lord Zarek's endeavours prior to crossing the world housing the Blue Monolith.
