From the creator of The Airship Andalusia, Ehro, and Nion, comes a post-apocalyptic adventure with smart, strong women, memorable characters, lots of desolate, depressing scenery, and more gritty, dusty, rust-covered TEOTWAWKI fun than you can stuff in a fallout shelter! Did you say 'strong women'? Here's four VERY strong women: Ronch, Leader of The Raiders There are very few well-adjusted people eking-out an existence in the Barren Sea region and Ronch is definitely not one of those people. In the time before The Aftermath, doctors would call her a psychopath. Strong as an ox, ruthless as a hyena, fast as a cheetah, and emotionless as a python, Ronch and her gang of barbarian raiders prowl the wastes looking for their next victims. When she sees something she wants, she takes it. There is no law to stop her and only the Militia stands between her and the prize she most deeply covets: the people of Barren Sea settlements. Shay, Captain in the Regional Militia When your job is to stand between the surging tide of chaos and destruction and the fragile remnants of human civilization, you must be willing to sacrifice yourself to protect all that remains of humanity. It takes a hero to play that role. That’s Shay. As a captain in the regional militia, Shay is responsible for defending settlements like Wrecktown from marauding bands of raiders. She’s a no-nonsense woman — smart, tough, and deadly. Respected by her friends and feared by her enemies, Shay is just the kind of person you want on your side. Nevv, Armageddon Express bicycle courier A child of The Aftermath, Nevv grew up in the arid wastes of the Barren Sea. Working as a courier for Armageddon Express, a parcel delivery service connecting Wrecktown with other settlements around the Barren Sea, Nevv spends her days pedaling across a region that was once completely under water. With legs like tree trunks and the aerobic capacity of a racehorse, she rides her modded fat-tire bike over 100 miles every day, carrying mail and other items across the post-apocalyptic wastes. It's a dangerous job filled with risk -- avoiding lawless marauders, massive sandstorms, and keeping the rubber side down. But, she likes the job, loves her bike and the daily workout, and relishes the solitude. Snap, Captain of The Airship Andalu To survive in the Barren Sea region, you have to be smart. And strong. And tough. And you must have an edge -- some trait, talent, or tech that no else has. Snap is all those things. Plus, she has a most unique asset: an airship. She captains a post-apocalyptic airship that is part hot air balloon and part tugboat. Weird, but strangely appropriate, considering that nothing is now as it once was before the Aftermath. With her helmsman, Milt, at her side, Snap and her airship, The Andalu, ferry people and cargo between settlements, for a hefty price. Soaring high above the arid wastes -- and far out of reach of the bands of marauding raiders that prowl the unforgiving lands below -- Snap, Milt, and The Andalu, help keep trade, transportation, and airborne 80's rock ballad duets alive across the Barren Sea region. Wait. You've never heard of Armageddon Express? It's a post-apocalyptic adventure/comedy/musical/mystery with bicycles, classic 80's hits, muscles, broccoli, goons, and lots of four-letter-words that sound like obscenities, but aren't. Confused? Think Mad Max meets Mama Mia! in a bar, they hook up, and nine months later their love child is Napoleon Dynamite. Yeah, it's kinda like that.
