Nathan Stout is a prisoner of the past...but not his own past. Captured by a man who was once the closest friend of Nate's Prime, from whom he was cloned decades ago, Nate is alive because Robert Franklin needs something from him. Something he can use to topple governments and take control of a world gone mad. Once he has it, Nate may be expendable. Meanwhile, Broken Arrow Mercenary Force is in tatters. Roach and Mule are left huddling in their last safe haven, alone, confused, and afraid. But they're BAMF and they don't give up. Searching among the dregs of society in the ruins of post-war Virginia, they find an old soldier turned mercenary who may be able to help them find Nate...and find out why he was taken.
