"Where the Cartel erred, we will not. We will not only work from the shadows, we will become the shadows. The umbra is the darkest part of the shadow, a place where no light can penetrate, and that's what we'll be. We will be the UMBRA, and the world will bow to our every whim."--Dread Autumn, along with the other last surviving members of the Earth Crime Cartel, are asked to go on a suicide mission to Mars. If they succeed, all records of their existence will be wiped clean. If they refuse, they'll be hunted down and executed for their crimes. So what's a bounty-hunter to do? Too bad the Martians have left a little surprise for Autumn and her rag-tag gang of rogues on their ship. Yeah, it's gonna be bumpy ride back home to say the least. Heads will roll and blood will spill as you watch the rise of UMBRA.
