Ultimately, the aliens were finally beaten back...but the dying had only begun.Now living in fortress cities, what is left show more of humanity hides from the remaining nanogens, while scientists like Alex Denyer work to deactivate the platforms left behind and try to find cures for the dying. When a new platform suddenly appears, Alex's attempts to understand end with his being infected by a bio-weapon that will literally eat him alive.But there is a cure-Omnifix.
