The "One In A Million Club", they call themselves, a hundred and seven survivors of Retribution, the plague that ended civilization. Living in a city that once housed a million, their existence has been a mostly idyllic one, but storm clouds are gathering. A group of ex-military raiders is headed their way. Wild dogs, evolving to huge sizes, are a constant harassment, and internal conflicts over the group's leadership leaves them ill-prepared to defend themselves. Alan Steel, a former successful businessman, pilot, and politician, is the person most want as a leader. He and Geoffrey Caine, a former Royal Marine, are the only two with military experience. When the dangers facing them become obvious, they must make up for lost time, and take on an enemy almost as dangerous as Retribution itself.
Fascinating characters make up the story: Des Forbes, the charismatic former heavyweight champion of the world; Randy Wooling, irresistible to women; beautiful show girl Holly Platt, and her sister, Susan, who loves Alan Steel; Major Henry Willman, commanding officer of the remains of NORAD; and James Ambrose, a medical researcher with the morals of Josef Mengele, the Nazi "angel of death".
Ranging over western North America, "Retribution" features non-stop tension, realistic battle sequences, and thrilling aerial combat.
