Heavily armored soldiers battle genetically engineered troops hundreds of meters below the icy, mineral rich mountains of Kazakhstan. War is Oscar Wendell's ticket to greatness. A reporter for the Stars & Stripes, he has the only one way ticket to the front lines. The front smells of blood & fire & death
