BLADE: A giant among men, he headed the war to keep post-apocalyptic America from falling under the control of the mutants and degenerates who roamed the burned-out land.

MESAVILLE: Hidden in the subterranean depths of what was once the Arizona desert, this cesspool of decadence was a refuge for every worthless scavenger in the Outlands. There, crime was a way of life, and the only leader to whom the outlaws bowed was the diabolical Death Master. For anyone who crossed Death Master faced a punishment none could survive.

DEATH MASTER STRIKE: Searching for an old comrade, Blade hoped to sneak in and out of Mesaville without trouble. He didn't know that Death Master had other plans for him that didn't include leaving. Caught in a trap, Blade had to destroy Mesaville to save his life—and civilization.
