Only Dr. Aki Ross, a brilliant young woman haunted by dreams of death, may hold the key to saving the world. But her plan is not without its risks, and a rogue general commanding the most technologically sophisticated army in history will storm heaven itself to stop her if he has to. He has plans of his own to stop the alien life force in one decisive stroke... plans that will stab at the very heart of Nature itself unless Aki's quest succeeds.
