I have to stay hidden from the man who chases me through the dark tunnels. I only hope that my children will be strong enough to fend for themselves once he catches me and kills me.

Captain J. F. Blake of the US Special Forces has been through a hell almost no one else on the planet has experienced. After a lengthy campaign against the Thing and the insane Colonel Whitley, he is the last man standing. Or so he thought. After the final showdown with Whitley, Blake meets fellow veteran of the Thing R. J. MacReady, sole survivor of Outpost Thirty One. Together, these two men must lead a ragtag band of battered, exhausted survivors against Genetic Incorporated and their army of mercenaries for control of the seventh continent. Blake isn't sure he has what it takes, but at this point, he's willing to die trying. He must battle the elements, mercenaries, and the living virus known only as the Thing if he's to keep the infection from spreading to the rest of the planet. It's time to put a stop to this once and for all...
