Inside Area 5, Dub went into stasis looking forward to being on the first manned expedition to Mars, but he's awakened to deal with robot intruders, an aircraft about to crash, and alien vandals ransacking the place. Maybe he should have hit the snooze button when he had the chance.

Area 5 is another exciting chapter of the Parthenon saga of survival after a man-made apocalypse drives humankind to the brink of extinction.
