The Great Armageddon of 2100 changed everything: feudalism replaced democracy as wastelands and Dead Zones replaced fields and forests. Warfare using tanks, planes, and soldiers was transformed into high-speed death matches employing ultra-fast, heavily-armored cars bristling with high-tech weaponry. The tyrannical Pantaran Empire rose from the ashes of the nuclear conflagration to enslave humanity. Ironically, only one man has a chance to stop it and he is a criminal, a rebel, a mercenary, and the most highly-paid bounty hunter in the last habitable territory in the former United States.
