“Even in hell there are some thing worth fighting for.”

2155 AD: America is ruled by a fanatical Arab dictator with life-and-death power over ever human being on earth. His weapon of control: the Jitterbug–a devastating plague used as an instrument of genocidal extermination. In the cities, the only refuge, millions of people struggle for survival while a ruthless cabal of amoral executives battle each other for the remnants of power.

Out of the Southwestern desert comes Olson, an outlaw and outside. Aided by blind chance, and a woman who knows the corporation’s darkest secret, he dares to challenge its corrupt rule. Only his strength can stand against the tide of destruction. Only his courage can make a better world out of the chaos of the old.
