The People's Salvation tried to conquer the world. They failed. Now they face their final stand. Their enemies are closing in with overwhelming force, determined to put an end to their murderous regime once and for all. In the bombed-out ruins of the Crown City, the insane First Marshal Nilen orders his remaining soldiers to fight to the death. But not all of them are willing to obey... A story of war, brutality and revenge in the dying days of a psychotic dictatorship, drawing inspiration from the worst excesses of the 20th century. This story has some loose connections to The Hunter’s Law and The Alley Gods, though it is set in a much later era, as the world has progressed from low-fantasy into an age of industrial technology.
