Twenty-five years have passed since the remnants of humanity escaped Earth in the Ark. They lead comfortable lives, but at a price. The brain-washed population worship Eva, freely donate blood and have no memories of the Blocks.
No one believes our heroes account of their struggle with the Bosses, Truculent and Eva.
Jugger, Pinkie and Stuff have adapted to life in the Ark and prospered. Mina, Tress and Battery Boy are estranged, bitter and angry.
Block Seven, filled with billions suffering unspeakable horrors, has been taken to the heart of the Vigilance Empire by Truculent. Mankind seems doomed to an eternity of enslavement by the Shard and the Vigilance.
