AN ENEMY RISES! And this time...IT'S PERSONAL.

• The Shield is under siege! A Siege. In a book called "Siege." Does this count as a spoiler?

• Things are looking bad for our crew on the Shield, and a "good" day involves everything trying to kill them, so...

• Bizarre armories, viscous villains, unstrung heroes, and battles beyond reason.

• Everyone's going to die. It's Awesome. Welcome to the Siege.
