IT’S NO JOKE...

Liberty Coalition Army 2nd Lieutenant Nathan Frost has been transformed. There was that last searing blast from the bomb, an excruciating gurney ride into the surgery unit — Frost wondering if he even had a face left — some strange talk about BP, pulse and … scarecrows?

Now he is alert, standing, disoriented a little, but stronger than before. A sense of extreme power is coursing through him and he sees apprehension in the eyes of all who pass.

Frost has been transformed into the prototype.

He is the first-born in a top secret program to create a bio-augmented super-soldier.

Now that joke about a one-man army is true...
