Description
Bloodshot is finally free of the memories that have haunted him since his
awakening - but now even greater mysteries remain. Who was he before he
was transformed into a walking weapon? And just what purpose did he serve for
Project Rising Spirit? Now, a rogue PRS scientist has told Bloodshot the
location of the answers he needs - and they're buried deep within an
off-the-grid, savagely fortified black site that will rain hellfire down upon
anyone who dares trespass. And, once he's inside, he may just discover that he's
not the only indestructible killing machine PRS ever dreamed into the world...
What is Project Rising Spirit's true function in the Valiant Universe? Who will
answer for their crimes? And what darker secrets yet await in the recesses of
their classified compound? The answers you've been waiting for will beckon in
Bloodshot: The Rise and The Fall.
