The fiery destruction of nuclear war and its deadly aftermath have driven the free world to its knees, enslaved by the victorious Soviet invaders. John Thomas Rourke - ex-CIA Covert Operations Officer, weapons specialist and supreme survival expert, leads the forces of freedom in the bloody fight against oppression to save an all but devastated future Earth. Rourke and his raiders break the stranglehold of the Red armies, winning back the West after a massive high-tech battle on land and sea. But secret factions threaten the hard-won peace in the freed capital of Eden - and a terrorist bomb mortally wounds Rourke, forcing him into the healing sub zero mists of cryogenic sleep for decades. While he sleeps, a new tyranny grows: bloodthirsty land pirates from the wastelands crush democracy under the tracks of their huge mobile fortresses equipped with plasma-powered mega cannon. Humanity's only hope is to revive The Survivalist in time to stop the insane menace before millions die and freedom is lost forever.
