Echo of Ashes

A cutting-edge nanomedicine project called "Zero" went out of control in a base under the Arctic ice sheet. It did not bring eternal life, but it brought the end of civilization. The twisted "reconstructed bodies" devour life and transform all things. They are not monsters, but a cruel evolution executed by a cold program. The only way to destroy these "ghosts" is to understand and harness the technology behind them. A desperate technological ascent began. The survivors must let human wisdom become the loudest echo in the endless ashes before the torch of civilization is completely extinguished.
