In the barbarous, collapsed civilization that is now his country, Mafia crime lords, bikers, toothless bandits, and New American Army troops vie to get Martin Stone. But his most dangerous enemy by far is the would-be savior who calls himself General Patton III, whose insanely inspired blueprint for what's left of the world is a sweeping, brutally enforced state of peace - but a peace of slaves, a peace of the dead.

Patton has vowed to take Stone out if it's the last thing he ever does. Stone knows the general is a man who keeps his word. The only hope for the Last Ranger is for him to take out the granite-jawed tyrant first.
