Earth is now an industrial harvest. The alien Tower looming over Los Angeles operates as a flawless, miles-high abattoir, processing human beings with terrifying mechanical efficiency. Jonas Cook wasn't trained for combat; he was a supply-chain auditor. But understanding the cold logistics of the enemy's system is the only reason he's still alive.
Trapped deep within the labyrinth of the Tower's kill floors alongside a desperate handful of survivors, Jonas has one impossible goal: climb through the nightmarish rendering vats and flash-freezing decks, breach the interstellar dreadnought docked at the summit, and sabotage the alien system from the inside out.
The Tower's security grid is absolute. Hunted relentlessly by multi-eyed Overseers and hulking, lobotomized Butchers, the group is pushed into a lethal corner. To outsmart a system entirely devoid of empathy, Jonas must strip away his own. He must adopt the cold calculus of the machine, managing the variables of survival even if it means sacrificing innocent lives to buy seconds on a clock.
