Story51
Deep in the icy black of the North Atlantic, a state-of-the-art submersible makes a chilling discovery—a metallic object slicing through the water with impossible speed and precision. Moments later, systems fail, lights die, and terror takes hold. On Mars, a European rover transmits the image of a stone—etched with unknown symbols—just before vanishing from the data grid. Entire neighborhoods in Nevada disappear without a trace. And in the French Alps, a champion cyclist vanishes mid-race, his GPS pinging him thousands of miles away—then gone.

Humanity's days are numbered. Earth is on a collision course with the one-hundredth anniversary of first contact with the invasive species that unleashed the Mist into its atmosphere. Spreading like a virus, these nanites altered the very air and soil of the planet, poisoning the land and mutating the animals. People evolved beyond their biology into superhuman beings, while scientific advancements in technology and weaponry shifted the hierarchies of the world's most powerful nations. While armies battle to create a new order, the aliens are left free to leech Earth's natural resources.
