About this ebook
Second in the pulp science fiction series that inspired the popular comic, TV, and movie franchise, from the author of Armageddon 2419.
Anthony "Buck" Rogers burst onto the sci-fi scene in an explosion of futuristic weapons and rip-roaring adventure. In Armageddon 2419, after being overcome by radioactive gases, the World War I veteran existed in a state of suspended animation until he awoke to a whole new century and a completely different war . . .
Now, in the twenty-fifth century, the Second War of Independence against the not-quite-human Han has come to a deadlock, thanks to the heroic efforts of Buck, warrior woman Wilma Deering, and the rest of the Wyoming Gang. Shored up in the forests surrounding the Han city of Nu-Yok, Buck and his band learn that the Hans are ready to change strategy, taking the war to the ground. Buck knows no one can survive close combat with the Hans and their disintegrator rays, but centuries of oppression have spawned a hatred among the humans deadlier than any weapon. Still, their only chance of survival is to get to the Hans before they can get to them.
The hunters have become the hunted.
