Blade Series

BLADE . . . Named for the razor-sharp bowies that never left his side, he was unmatched in size and strength. In post-nuclear America, he was the last hope of what was left of the civilized world. THE FREEDOM FORCE . . . Six men trained in the art of killing; each was a perfect instrument of death. In a ravaged world crawling with mutants and savages, their talents were much in demand.

THE FORCE . . . Led by Blade, they were seven hand-picked members of the Freedom Federation. Each was a volunteer because no one had the guts to order them to go anywhere; each alone was worth an army - together, they couldn’t be stopped. THE MISSION . . . Sanitize the Outlands of Oregon, which were under the rule of a vile race of mutants called the Reptiloids. Their diabolical leader had a taste for pitting humans against each other in Roman arena combat, and all the lizard-men had a taste for human flesh. They had rounded up all the men, women and children in the territory and were preparing for a great feast - but what they didn’t know was that Blade was coming to dinner, and the special of the day was lizard stew.

After the bombs stopped falling, the real killing began. One hundred years after World War III, Blade infiltrates Shantytown in order to sabotage the plans of Crusher Payne to use an army of monster machines to destroy the Freedom Federation.

In the arid San Diego Dead Zone, murderous fiends called the Vampires were kidnapping young girls to use them as the main course at a sick feast. Nobody knew if the Vampires were the inhuman monsters of legend, or human aberrations twisted by the nuclear holocaust. No matter what they were, Blade wanted them killed – even if he had to drive a stake through every one of their hearts.

In the mountains of Baja California, a man they called El Diablo was raiding civilized settlements and leaving a trail of corpses in his wake. Backed by the Freedom Force, Blade stormed into the Baja to put an end to El Diablo's reign of terror, but had he finally met his match?

Global nuclear war had left the earth a stinking cesspool, polluted by radioactive fallout and poisoned by chemical toxins. Mutations abounded. Barbarians reigned. Against them all fought the Freedom Force, civilization’s last hope for survival. And when Los Angeles fell victim to a mindless incursion of savages, it was up to the Force to lift the siege. Matching violence with super violence and death with megadeath, Blade and his comrades blew into the City of Angels like devils out of hell – and L.A. would never be the same.
