Riassunto

Even though the Great War is over, North America is on the brink of disaster as the Canadian nationalists attempt to defy the colonial power of the United States and the Socialists rise to power, which leads to the rise of a pychotic fanatic preaching a message of hate in the South and a Canadian farmer bent on killing the greatest U.S. war hero, General George Armstrong Custer. 40,000 first printing.
