Part Five in the eight-part pulp sci-fi epic INFINITY 8, this standalone adventure takes readers on a zombie-filled rollercoaster ride in deep space! Filled with high-tension thrills, fast-paced action, and wry humor like the best grindhouse space flicks, this tale by writers Lewis Trondheim and Davy Mourier and illustrator Lorenzo De Filici follows a single mother and security agent, Ann Ninurta, as she is drawn into one of eight parallel timelines initiated by the captain of the starship in his attempt to discover the origin of the mysterious galaxy-sized rubble field that they are trapped in. But as close as agent Ninurta comes to finding the secret to this mystery, her daughter's safety puts her duty in question... as well as the safety of the entire population of the ship (and possibly the entire universe)! While this tale stands on its own, it provides even more pieces to the ultimate puzzle behind this madcap space opera.
