Warfare's Chimeras by KarismaEdwards

The year is 2112. Yellowstone has erupted, drowning America in ash and shadow. Crops have withered, fresh water vanishes faster than it can be replenished, and the world's climate rages beyond control. Nations collapse. Wars ignite. Humanity is no longer fighting to live-but to outlast extinction. In secret labs, science has been twisted beyond morality. Soldiers, drafted to fight for mankind's survival, are subjected to experiments meant to forge the ultimate weapon. But instead of saviors, abominations are born. Decorated war hero Sergeant Clark refuses to stand by as his brothers-in-arms are turned into monsters. His search for justice leads him straight to the scientist who engineered the atrocities and sacrificed ethics for survival. But what begins as bitter enmity twists into a fragile alliance when the two discover a darker truth. When the truth about mankind's engineered downfall comes to light, survival depends on their uneasy bond. Together, they must navigate a world unraveling into chaos, where every choice is a gamble and every ally could be a traitor. If they cannot stop the hidden power that set this catastrophe in motion, the final war will not be fought between nations- It will be fought between man and monster.
