Dead Reckoning: The Mercenary’s Reset

When elite mercenary Aiden Cross dies in a hopeless last stand against a horde of the undead, he expects only darkness to follow. Instead, he wakes up six months before the outbreak that wiped out civilization. Armed with foreknowledge, ruthless skills, and a hardened will to survive, Aiden has a second chance to prepare for the fall of humanity. But survival isn’t enough. He plans to rewrite the fate of a broken world, save the lives he once failed, and eliminate the real threat behind the apocalypse — not the undead, but the living monsters who rose in the chaos. As warlords, cultists, and mutants rise from the ashes, Aiden becomes both humanity’s grim reaper and its reluctant hope. This time, he doesn’t intend to die.
