Deep beneath the forests of Fort Lewis Army Base, a covert government program has engineered something unprecedented—a genetically manipulated apex predator, trained from birth and bonded to a single handler. But when the most intelligent and feared subject in the program, D-128, is brought into the field for live testing, he vanishes without a trace. What begins as a controlled experiment quickly spirals into a manhunt across the remote wilderness, where the line between hunter and hunted blurs—and the government learns too late that you can’t cage something born to outthink you. 

Now, D-128 is free. And he’s not just surviving... he’s planning.
