A survival epic with a touch of Planet of the Apes and Conan to it.
And it stars Gene The Hackman!
Its the end of the world as we know it.
His orders come from The Masters, also known as Two-Feet-Who-Walk-On-The-Ground.
The two tales in this volume give shape to this scorched earth existence.
Adventures that prove hes Hackman by name, Hackman by nature.
Kingdommay be the mutant offspring of many previous far-flung futures, but its far from derivative.
It delights in its undiluted action and the playful satire it trails in its bloodied wake.
Get whet with enjoyment, indeed.
