A zeitgeist is building against the existing world order and its increasingly autocratic puppet states. Anonymous vigilantes, resistance fighters and ultrahuman subversives are rising up against globalist regimes. And bedlam rises with them.
A cosmic quake opens up seemingly random dimensional portals across the Earth, and some of the disoriented visitors emerging from them add to the existing ultrahuman and dissident crisis.
Turboknight drops through a portal from the Korean War. His culture shock and notions of chivalry render him confused and conflicted in the path of the developing rebellion. Which side will he decide to fight on?
After the Juggernaut interferes with a government-sanctioned riot, police and the Armed forces commit the worst possible blunder against somebody of his temperament and Threat Quotient: they piss him off. His resulting rampage rips a trail of mayhem and carnage across America with the force of an atomic hurricane.
The Phantom Raider is a home-grown urban guerrilla, backed by Phantom Force--a secret team of cyberspies. He routinely infiltrates secure facilities, leaks sensitive information, and hijacks the Orwellian surveillance network for his own purposes. His identity is secret; his tracks are covered; and his techno-mischief is a major thorn in the side of those tasked with narrative control.
The Pentagon and the Institute of Unorthodox Sciences build their own team of ultrahumans to enforce Establishment policies and neutralize the super-renegades.
Crisis comes to a head in the Asian country of Tinidor, where Phantom Force has deployed to help overturn a soft coup by Tinidori Quislings under the control of an international banking cabal. And while the Raider is more than a match for any natural human, he is soon in over his head.
All Cabal assets are deployed to crush the dissidents--both native and visitor; with and without powers.
Both the Establishment and Rebel factions descend on Tinidor. Both consider themselves on the right side of history. There is no possibility of compromise. Raw, naked force will decide who prevails.
