The epic mini-series collected for the first time! Earth, 2020. United States Special Forces Major Laurence "Prophet" Barnes and the soldiers of Raptor Team thought their deployment on the Lingshan islands was a basic covert op against North Korean forces. They couldn't have been more wrong. Archaeologists had awoken a nightmare on the island that had lain buried for millions of years - the Ceph, an alien race utterly hostile to human life. In a battle that stretches across the solar system and back, can Prophet and Raptor Team stop the aliens and save mankind?

2020\. First contact with the alien Ceph. A team of nanosuited soldiers led by Major Barnes, codename Prophet, were sent in to the Lingshan Islands. Few survived. But the alien menace was held back. 2023\. The Ceph took New York. A dying Prophet passed on his nanosuit to a Marine named Alcatraz. Once again the suit´s powerful technology saved the day. Now death has returned to the ruins of New York. Enclosed by the massive Liberty Dome, controlled by the powerful and corrupt company CELL, the city is a battleground. CELL troopers, resistance fighters and deadly Ceph stalk the streets. And hidden in the city is a secret that will destroy the world. Set between CRYSIS 2 and CRYSIS 3, these hard-hitting stories tell of the world´s decline into a corporate nightmare and the beginnings of the resistance. Perfect as an introduction to the world of CRYSIS, they also provide fascinating background and detail for existing players. Featuring fan-favourite characters such as Prophet, Psycho, Alcatraz and more, the linked stories build up into one shattering narrative. The enemy are here. The time is now. Suit up.
