Opis

Nuclear, chemical and biological warfare devastate planet Earth. Billions die. A small band of survivors emerge from hiding and begin a new world order: a peaceful planet managed by benevolent Robots. Robot scientists develop an Anti-Aging pill that prevents humans from growing older. Peace and freedom reign for two hundred years. Then, vast armies of warlike mutant Cyborgs sweep out of the Northland. They overpower the peaceful Robots and take control of the human race. Peace and freedom end. Student demonstrations begin. Cyborgs round up demonstrators and ship them in cattle cars to a death camp in the Arizona desert. There, they face one of two fates: neutralization (a laser lobotomy) and living death in slave labor camps, or a final trip to gas chambers and ovens. Luke Justin, an aging cowboy with terminal cancer, lives in a senior citizen facility. Sentenced to neutralization for rebelling against Cyborg rule, he learns that his teenaged great-grandchildren are among those sent to the death camp. Luke breaks out of the senior citizen facility and teams up in the desert with No Name, an ancient Apache Indian warrior who is blind and lame, yet knows of a secret weapons cache in Monument Valley. Together, Luke and No Name face their final and greatest challenge: freeing students from the death camp so they can find the mythical Promised Land, the story of legends and last hope for the human race.
