Book description
In the far future, the world has fallen to chaos with the criminal
elements controlling the cities and vast police forces ruling the
unknown wilderness beyond. Only one man, unknowingly, holds the key to
the state in which society finds itself - a man named Craig. Craig,
however, is an outcast, a pariah, feared by organised crime and despised
by the police who, despite themselves, are compelled to use him. This is
the tale of how Craig fights back - against forces unknown - and of his
attempts to reinstate himself into a society that has rejected him.
