Splashdown
Not all deadly predators from the sea are sharks?"Who's attacking us?" An unknown enemy descends into the oceans of the world. It stalks mankind - probing, testing our weapons and defenses, biding time to strike. In the summer of 2039 this aquatic foe unleashes surprise attacks coastal cities around the globe. Mankind faces a new enemy, one from the depths of space and the dark blackness of the seas. The United States and the rest of the world are ill prepared for an attack from the oceans. A diverse group of characters are drawn into the conflict which pits mankind against a seemingly alien threat and against each other. Alone, some are formidable - like the determined USMC Lance Corporal in Guam or the seasoned Army Master Sergeant whose career is winding down. Others must face their inner demons like the drug-selling veteran or the unscrupulous reporter. A handful have agendas of their own which might put the fate of the planet at stake - or save it. A few will be forced to make desperate stands or die as this enemy from below attempts to claim Earth for their own purposes.This unlikely ensemble is brought together in the fires and icy waters of war...a war fought with ingenuity, cunning, and augmented tactical powered armored combat suits named after the Assyrian god of war - ASHURs. It is survival of the fittest - against an unrelenting foe - and each other. And it all begins with the initial SPLASHDOWN...
