Welcome to Episode One of The DOOM Chronicles.

Jack Ward has just been demoted and exiled to one of the most boring, miserable places in the entire solar system: Mars City. The UAC needs soldiers and the United Marine Corps is more than willing to send its unwanted rejects and failures to play rent-a-cop all over the solar system.  Jack isn't sure he has anything left to live for as he's dumped on Mars.

Something is waiting for Private Jack Ward and his fellow Space Marines up there, something beyond blood, beyond horror, beyond sanity...
