IN THE NIGHTMARE FUTURE OF THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY ONLY THE STRONGEST SURVIVE…

Raised on the streets of a devastated twenty-first century torn by plagues, riots, and social decay, Aubry Knight was trained to be a lethal killing machine. Betrayed by those who created him, Knight turns his awesome powers on those who made him the man he is.

But now a fanatical religious leader plots to enslave the nation and tampers with the sanctity of life itself. To save America from tyranny, Aubry Knight must battle an inhuman army of super soldiers—and confront the terrors of his own past.

To survived this living Knight needs to become a new kind of hero: strong enough to confront evil, yet caring enough to save a world.
