America has become a wasteland, leaving the few cities that remain transformed into impenetrable fortresses. Beyond these walls lies The Zone, a brutal, plague-ravaged landscape populated by mutants, monsters, and warring factions of survivors driven insane by disease and starvation. Only the very brave or the very foolish voluntarily step foot outside the protective confines of the mega-cities, and Nick Masters is a little bit of both. If you need something picked-up, delivered, or disposed of, Nick's your man. But when he fails to deliver an important package to a local crime lord, Nick's business suddenly becomes very personal!
