Born and bred in Deathlands, Ryan dares to unlock the secrets buried deep in the wreckage of a planet.Time may be the enemy in the daily struggle to stay alive, but perhaps it can reveal something better….Barely escaping a redoubt hidden in an old aircraft carrier guarded by killer droids, the companions emerge into the backwater world of Lake Superior's Royal Island. Here, metal and salt are commodities worth killing and dying for, and two rival barons rule mutant-infested land and water with blood will.

When time has run out, when there are no choices left and the government's hands are tied, the Oval Office has one last bid for action: Stony Man. A last-resort, covert action team, this elite commando and cybernetics defense unit swings into action to protect America and the rest of the free world from the nightmare point of no return.Dedicated to a cause thirty years in the making, a powerful, militant group has amassed a private army of weaponry and mercenaries, and a mandate of world peace–by way of mass murder. Across the globe, unmarked planes are spilling a tidal wave of innocent blood as military and civilian targets all become fair game. When enough of the world is gone…they will step into power. Unless freedom's last, longest…and only shot does what it does best: the impossible.

Dedicated to fighting terror wherever it's found, the warriors of Stony Man do not consider failure to be an option. But the men and women of this top secret unit remain ever vigilant in the knowledge that some day a threat so enormous may arise that nothing can stop I t…not even the hardest commandos on the planet. That day may be now….It is brilliant technology from the space race days, shelved long ago in favour of more sophisticated weaponry. No nukes, no warheads, just simple rods of stainless steel corralled in space and sent jetting into Earth's atmosphere at Mach 2 to hit selected targets with white-hot balls of molten metal. Cheap to make, impossible to stop, and easy to deploy, it has fallen into hostile hands. Across the globe, a demonstration of the accuracy of Sky Hammer leaves little doubt that this could be the endgame for Stony Man…and the world.
