He may die nameless.
Until he graduates from training, he has no name. He is no one. To graduate, he need only survive.
To escape a life less ordinary, a young man challenges himself to become a sniper for the galaxy-spanning Combine Federal Army. But being a dead shot with a rifle is just the beginning.
Alone in the frozen wilderness of a savage planet, he must master the three skills of a sniper: stealth, patience, and survival.
If he fails, he’ll lose his place as predator… and instead become prey.
