A young Wolf Pack agent becomes fearful for her mother's safety in a mental asylum and the rescue that Wolf implements reveals a great deal more of interest about the enemy. Meanwhile, young Dana has given herself up to them under the influence of mind control and suffers a bizarre, mind bending form of torture. In this science fiction series, Wolf Ballantyne's rebel heart begins to feel revulsion for all that the rebellion has made him do and experience. The pandemic apocalypse fiction and the political intrigue of the time seem tantalisingly like what alien tyrants might impose on the world but he balks at believing that it was anything other than human greed and capriciousness at play until he begins to explore the concept of astral projection and encounters Valhalla.
