Publisher's Synopsis
I stood my ground with Hanson; to hold off the Zen long enough for the door to be blasted. The flamer I held was fully charged and ready. I squeezed the trigger and fired a jet of ignited propellant at the next Zen clawing through the hole. The creature burst into flames and screamed violently. The flamethrowers were proving more effective against these things. I took a step forward; letting off the trigger. The incinerated creature flailed about. I approached with the flamer raised. Within a few steps of the hole I let out another stream from the weapon.The fire reignited the blaze. I could already see a third Zen behind; ready to crawl forward and take the place of the next one fallen. The arc of fire enveloped the tight crawlspace beneath the metal flooring. It traveled several meters and fried anything in its path, meaning the creatures. Their cries of agony resonated through the ducts. It was a satisfying feeling to hear them scream. ***The Colony on Arcadia has gone silent. When it is suspected agents of a rival power might be responsible, the Interstellar Marines are deployed. They soon realize the Voss-Pyun Corporation is harboring something on the planet far worse...
