Surface Tension

With a threat that consumes everything

The only allies left

Might just be the enemy.

After a disastrous foray to a quarantined world, RESIT sergeants Laramie McCoy and Chris Thompson are left behind to monitor an increasingly desperate situation. Constriction continues to ravage the planet. And as government forces tighten the noose, Laramie must take gamble after gamble to keep her team one step ahead of the unthinkable.

Meanwhile, Lieutenant Wyatt Wills is riding home with a strike force in full retreat. His assignment: watch over young Annika Hewitt, the nine-year-old girl who holds the key to understanding constriction. Infected yet somehow lucid, Annika has kept its debilitating effects at bay, providing a glimmer of hope to the science team racing to develop a cure.

But it's beginning to look like constriction may not be just a disease. Some think its origins suggest something sinister and alien.

And eliminating Annika might be the best way to protect humanity.
