Athena Kozielewski only wants one thing—to die her own way, among the redwoods in California. She doesn’t have much time to get there, either—like all the other survivors of the plague, her body is riddled with cancer.

But nothing The Iron Cross can do can compare to the nightmare an evil genius named Doc Frankie has in store for them.
