Cold Metal War

"I was going back to Polaris. And to tell you the truth, I wasn’t that upset. I knew it was killing Len. I knew I’d be lucky if she waited for me this time. And I felt guilty as hell for not being more moved by her suffering. But still, there was a part of me that knew this is what I was born to do. All the rest is just dying in slow motion." The year is 2133. Captain ValCora Mortlocke, Extreme Terrain Specialist with the Canadian Armed Forces, has been pulled out of retirement. War has broken out in the Arctic Circle and the deadly letovirus has northern communities on lock-down. For Mortlocke, there is no choice. She is a soldier first; everything else comes second. Duty calls, and Mortlocke will answer. Even if it destroys everything she has been fighting so hard to protect.
