Adrift in space forty years after escaping the doomed cargo ship Hawk in a life raft, Sixteen returns to an America that is in turmoil.
The economy reels under the weight of an extended depression, massive unemployment and escalating fuel prices. A disastrous military campaign in the Middle East has resulted in a crippling oil embargo.
Bankrupt state and municipal governments can no longer provide vital public services as rioting and looting spirals out of control. The President has imposed martial law under the auspices of the NDAA and the first militaristic occupation of American cities has begun.
Sixteen finds himself allied with murderous outlaws on the run, flung headlong into a desperate rescue mission that neither he nor his companions are certain to survive.
In the spirit of Robert E. Howard's Conan the Barbarian, Sixteen carves a bloody swath through a series of adventures that take place in a dark, violent America teetering on the brink from economic collapse and civil strife.
