How to Make a Monster

The Slenderfoot Story

In a secret base hidden deep within Russia's frigid expanse, the boundaries of science and ambition blur as the Cold War simmers in the backdrop. Driven by geopolitical rivalry and a quest for power, the brilliant Dr. Fyodor Molozov and his enigmatic partner, Dr. Ekaterina Markov, lead a covert sci-fi military project that delves into the uncharted territories of genetic engineering. Their groundbreaking work results in the creation of a team of extraordinary shapeshifters, more monster than man, designed to be Russia's ultimate assets on the battlefield.

Nadia, one of the engineered beings, stands out with her youthful exuberance and determination to prove herself. Yet, as she and her peers grapple with their monstrous identities and the weight of their purpose, they begin to question their very existence and the intentions of those who made them.

When unexpected threats emerge and the line between friend and foe blurs, the monsters, bound by the secrets of their creation, must confront not only external adversaries but also the inner turmoil ignited by their origins.

Dive into a thrilling narrative where genetic mastery meets the complexities of the human spirit, set against the shadowy echoes of a world on the brink.
