Many years after the Mahoud war, Charger reflects on his bizarre life, a simple mechanic who became a vampire with werewolf allies, fighting aliens from a distant solar system. It's such B-movie material. Humanity created him because they needed a monster and he's still protecting them. He does what they cannot, yet they fear and despise him for it.
A war on New Eden puts Charger back on the front line, but victory brings the bitter irony of learning that the Taskers are humans in bio-mechanical bodies. Then the ruthless alien Grays attack with the Night of the Black Rain, intending to destroy all humanity. Charger takes on the seemingly hopeless task of saving the human race once again.
He welcomes death, but the serene oblivion doesn't last. The Prime Tasker resurrects Charger to wage yet another war and unintentionally recreates him with the powers of a god. A very angry god. The results are disastrous.
The final threat to mankind's survival is a sentient, massive black sphere intent on revenge. Will Charger consent to save humanity again?
