Outlanders 17: Purgatory Road

The fate of humanity remains ever uncertain, dictated by the obscure forces that have commandeered mankind's destiny for thousands of years. The plenipotentiaries of these ancient oppressors-the nine barons who have controlled America in the two hundred years since the nukecaust-are now falling prey to their own rabid desire for power. Their imposed doom is aided by a handful of intrepid men and women in a bitter fight to destroy the self-proclaimed new humans and deliver humanity from the yoke of the interminable slavery... In what was once the Pacific, the internecine baronial war rages on. Kane, Grant and Brigid wreak their own brand of destruction, inadvertently leading invading forces to the island of New Edo, a lost world that echoes the violent, honor-ruled ways of feudal Japan. Amidst this war within a war, a shocking new twist emerges in the blueprint to control the future. Kane and his companions will become victims of a mysterious power play by alien dictators unleashing their abominable plan to claim earth. (The Imperator Wars - Book #3 of 3)
