The tattooed plus sign on Finnegan's hand marks him as a Positive. At any time, the zombie virus could explode in his body, turning him from a rational human into a ravenous monster. His only chance of a normal life is to survive the last two years of the potential incubation period. If he reaches his 21st birthday without an incident, he'll be cleared.

Since the dawn of time, across almost every culture, there have been legends of shape-shifters. Men who turn into beasts and prey upon anyone unfortunate enough to cross their path. Of the shape-shifter tales, none invokes as much terror as the legend of the werewolf. The stories of men who become wolves persisted through the centuries from campfire folk tales to the modern age, where we are still thrilled and horrified by tales of bloodthirsty predators in our midst.

A huge alien object has entered the solar system and is now poised above the Earth. It has made no attempt to communicate. Out of time and options, NASA turns to its last living astronaut - Commander Sally Jansen, who must lead a new team in an old spacecraft to discover the object's purpose and hopefully make First Contact. But as the object reveals its secrets, what started as a mission of discovery becomes a struggle for survival - not just for Jansen's team, but for the whole of humanity.

Paradise-1. Earth's first deep space colony. For thousands of colonists, it was an opportunity for a new life. Until it went dark. No communication has been received from the colony for months. It falls to Firewatch Agent Alexandra Petrova and the crew of the Artemis to investigate. What they find is more horrifying than they could have imagined.

The crew of the Artemis - led by Firewatch agent Alexandra Petrova - have survived the furious onslaught of the Basilisk and broken through the space blockade around Paradise-1. Now they can pursue their original mission and investigate why Earth's first deep space colony has fallen silent. The answer seems obvious: the site is deserted. Or so they think.

Nervenzerfetzende Spannung in den finsteren Tiefen des Weltraums. Das Sonnensystem ist besiedelt, und die Menschheit breitet sich im All aus. Es gibt sogar eine extrasolare Kolonie, Paradise-1, auf der Tausende Kolonisten ein neues Leben begonnen haben – bis die Kommunikation abgebrochen ist. Jetzt wird Agentin Alexandra Petrova und die Crew der Artemis auf die lange Reise nach Paradise-1 entsandt, um herauszufinden, was passiert ist. Doch das, was sie dort finden, übertrifft ihre schlimmsten, grauenvollsten Albträume.

Sally Jansen war einst die wichtigste Astronautin der NASA, bis ihre Mission zum Mars in einer Katastrophe endete. Inzwischen hat sie sich zur Ruhe gesetzt. Doch als ein riesiges außerirdisches Objekt ins Sonnensystem eindringt und bedrohlich die Erde umkreist, bleibt der NASA nur eine Möglichkeit: Sie muss Sally Jansen überzeugen, in den Weltraum zurückzukehren. Widerwillig lässt sie sich darauf ein in der Hoffnung, etwas von ihrem damaligen Versagen wiedergutmachen zu können.
