GSW - a.k.a. a gunshot wound - back to front. That’s what landed me in Sophie’s operating room after a black op went to hell. After I bled out, she “volunteered” me for Project Angel, a top-secret program determined to revive KIAs with alien tech. I became their first success. Fast-forward to Armageddon: Demons are everywhere. Bodies even more so. After some intense fighting, we’ve reached the hospital where she worked. The place looks grim, but I’m not about to stop searching for the angel who saved my life.

We always knew in the back of our minds that we'd have to use them on our own world if we were to save it, but I still can't get around the fact we vaporized D.C. to keep the demons at bay. Every day that passes sees humanity more and more on the brink of obliteration. That said, we've managed to secure some intel that gives us a glimmer of hope when it comes to our species' survival. In short, we've got the opportunity to get behind enemy lines—as in, off the planet—and sow chaos amongst their ranks. And from there, who knows?

William Butcher is still dead, but maybe that’s not so bad. He’s found a home among the crew of the AfterLife survey ship Mictecacihuatl. Together, William and the crew prevented a massacre and (maybe) headed off a war with an alien species. Things are looking up for the undead pilot and war veteran. It’s time for some well-earned downtime, but William’s past is still catching up with him. Plenty of the dead want revenge against the man they hold responsible for the final deaths of 10,000 reanimates. Some of the living want him called to account as well.

Letzte Chance für die JULES VERNE - und eine Falle für Julian Tifflor...

William Butcher is dead, and his life has gotten much more interesting. With galactic peace brokered, it may be time for William and the crew of the Mictecacihuatl to finally get back to their day job surveying star systems for resources. Humanity’s power players have other ideas. Earth’s chief diplomat is bent on revenge against rogue elements in the Navy and the government who started the war with the blood of innocents.

William Butcher is Dead. Forever removed from the love of his life and the future they planned to build, the young navy pilot must now spend the remainder of his existence in service to the leviathan AfterLIfe Corporation. With a crew of fellow reanimate undead William is sent on a secret mission into alien space.
