In 2006, Bree "Banzai" Maguire is a USAF fighter pilot
running a routine patrol sortie over North Korea when she
and her wingman, Cam "Scarlet" Tucker are shot down and
captured. They end up in the secret underground high-tech
laboratory of a mad scientist, who puts them into deep
suspended animation in special bio-stasis cryopods.
Fast-forward to 2176: United Colonies of Earth SEAL
Commander Tyler Armstrong is maneuvering an underwater
vehicle on the sea floor near the coastline of the Asian
Kingdom of Han, ruled by Prince Kyber. Known as a tomb
raider, Ty is after a treasure said to be hidden in a
submerged, bomb-out cave - the preserved bodies of two
American pilots missing since the end of the Korean
Peninsular War.
Ty grew up on the legend of Banzai Maguire, and he wants to
be the one to find her and bring her home - alive. When he
does indeed locate Bree in the cave and works to revive
her, Kyber's troops arrive to take both of them into
custody. Ty is beaten and imprisoned in the palace's lower
dungeons, but Bree is cared for like royalty and courted by
the handsome prince.
Foremost in Bree's mind is locating and rescuing her
wingman, Cam, but no one knows what's happened to her. The
more Bree learns of the new world that's evolved since her
time, the more she's confused. And what's with this
disembodied, eerie "Voice of Freedom" that's broadcasting
messages of revolt among the people, and why does it hint
that Bree is the one to lead that change?
Everyone seems to have a different agenda for this
beautiful, heroic legend. Now, it's up to Bree to decide
which path she'll follow in this new, unsettling world.
