WELCOME TO THE AMERICAN DARK
AGE.
The country has collapsed. Only the
stronghold of BlackAcre remains. Conceived by the robber-barons of the 21st
century, this opulent city-state is the last bastion of stability in a world
ablaze with chaos and strife.

Hull, an elite
warrior from the city's neo-Spartan military class, has devoted his life to
defending the borders of his homeland. And now that one of his comrades has gone
missing during a clandestine mission into hostile territory, Hull himself must
venture out beyond the wall... into the brutal and lawless frontier known as the
Hinterlands.

But when the mission goes
violently off the rails, Hull is left with more questions than answers: What
went wrong? Who is really in charge? And is there anyone - anywhere - he can
trust?

story about the future isn't in making it seem possible, but probable. Ladies

Blackacre."
