Born of the perilous experiment that was Project Tindalos, the Catchman has the relentlessness of a machine combined with the savagery of a beast. The monster's mission? To kill Helen Damnation, leader of the escalating rebellion against Commander Tereus Winterborn and his brutal militia, The Reapers. With her life in the balance, Helen faces down the ghosts of her murdered family—as well as the devastating secrets of her past—which threaten to destroy her resolve. But Helen has come back from the dead once before. With the help of her fiercest allies, the resistance movement she has raised, Helen will rise again . . .
