      The wounded man staggered forward, then fell

      Cheetah Luis knelt over the fallen fighter. “What happened to the others?” he demanded.

      “Cannies took them all. The living and the dead. Dragged off into the swamp…”

      “Did you see the live prisoners? Did you see them get taken away?” Ryan asked.

      The dying man nodded, but as he did so, his eyes fluttered shut and his chest stopped heaving. Ryan leaned down and grabbed the man’s chin. When he squeezed hard, the fighter opened his eyes wide.

      “Did you see a black woman and a pale-skinned man? Were they taken prisoner?”

      “Cannies took them both. Man’s in bad shape.”

      …Late August,

      I speed through the antiseptic tunnel where

      the moving dead still talk

      of pushing their bones against the thrust

      of cure. And I am queen of this summer hotel

      or the laughing bee on a stalk

      of death.

      —Anne Sexton,

      THE DEATHLANDS SAGA

      This world is their legacy, a world born in the violent nuclear spasm of 2001 that was the bitter outcome of a struggle for global dominance.

      There is no real escape from this shockscape where life always hangs in the balance, vulnerable to newly demonic nature, barbarism, lawlessness.

      But they are the warrior survivalists, and they endure—in the way of the lion, the hawk and the tiger, true to nature’s heart despite its ruination.
