Opis

In the final years of the Common Collapse the last of the corporations warred against one another until the American Trade Union and the Aryan Indus Alliance were formed and an armistice was established, dividing the world into two hemispheres. The New American Republic seized control in the West. The Aryan Empire seized control in the East. Within the walls of the Republic and the Empire citizens live free, unburdened lives made possible by a seemingly inexhaustible slave force: Untouchables. In the east, corporate Rajas and Ranis use untouchables to build their cities, conduct their experiments, and satisfy the boundless bloodlust of their populace. Slave markets are rampant and slave trading is an everyday affair. Rajas and Ranis scramble for land and human resources in the Deadlands. Idleness and boredom plague the empire. Death, disease and hunger plague the Deadlands. Outlaws are gathering in the mountains. A powerful force against tyranny is emerging. But those who champion the oppressed are ridiculed by the media, silenced by the elite, and disappeared by the Hanuman Guard. Cruelty is justice. Hate is compassion. Love is lust. Darkness is light, and light is darkness-it is the age of kali. RAD agent Jivan Rai must fabricate a news story to divert and distract attention from the assassination of Kulwar Patwa Singh Gill. Jacob Varma continues to help Brahman and Shudra slaves escape ruling caste bondage.
