Future War


The beam weapon sliced through the spacecraft like butter.

Fleeing ahead of the alien ship, the USS Fletcher and crew had no time to grieve.

Five-thousand men and women had died to bait the trap.

The strange new weapon was mankind's last hope.

A button was pushed.

The beast was released.

God help us all.
