Beast Stalker
2035. Europe is in ruins. Traditional warfare has collapsed. Drones fail. Autonomous weapons fall silent. In the wake of a war it cannot win, NATO authorizes the unthinkable-a covert black-ops experiment on Danish soil to create a living weapon: a genetically engineered predator built to hunt, adapt, and annihilate. The project is terminated. Erased. Forgotten. Until now.
