The fallout is catastrophic.While Outland's interim CEO Celeste Charming attempts to turn this tragedy into profit or worse, Dr. Oni Matsui sets out to free her captive friends and to prevent the forced evolution of humanity for which her good intentions have paved the way.

The United Kingdom has been ravaged and dehumanized by totalitarian socialists allied with the Communist Chinese. The few remaining free men and women constituting the coastal English Resistance continue to defy the dictatorship of the resentful, but know that their time is running out. Rather than have the tide take them or surrender outright, the Resistance is mobilizing to mount one final stand. If any are to survive the regime's mental collectivization, England will need some help from their friends in America, a miracle, and plenty of gunpowder.
