A nightmare from beyond the grave. A hero plunges into it. The planet is nothing more than a ruin, the cities are devastated and the greatest works of man are destroyed. Humanity is trapped and has nowhere to run.
The Hord of the ocusts has started and will not stop. The slaughter has only just begun. The Coalition soldiers are in a terrible state. Only the sick, wounded and prisoners remain.
An inmate named Marcus Fenix, who was left for dead, now bears the heavy responsibility of keeping the human race alive. There is only one certainty, humanity is not extinct. Not yet.
