THE WASTELAND: In what was once America's heartland dwell the survivors of the nuclear holocaust which annihilated most of civilization, leaving a scorched land filled with roving bands of savage outlaws and mutant creatures bent on destroying everything in their path.

BLADE: A ruthless killing machine, he is the leader of the Alpha Triad. They are a team of professional warriors, the defenders of The Home, the survivors last refuge, all that remains between them and certain death.

THE MISSION: The Triad must reach the Twin Cities to acquire urgently needed medical supplies. But once again, the mission is aborted, this time in Thief River Falls when they are attacked by a heavily armed contingent of renegade soldiers. In the ferocious battle that ensues, Blade's life and the security of The Home hang in the balance.
