Since the Reckoning, Charlie wanted nothing to do with his fellow man. 95% of the population had died. The survivors, sank into a life of depravity and debauchery, far removed from Civilization. They spread misery everywhere! Women and children sold on a slavers block to the highest bidder, or the sickest pervert. It was a way of life Charlie abhorred, preferring to live a lonely existence in a valley on the Welsh border, a valley he called Solace. That was until he saw Ann.
He loved her once, even in the madness. Looking through his rifle scope, she was there. Twenty other women with her, dragged along behind carts, a rope around their necks, on their way to the slave block. Two minutes later, eight men and a horse lay dead. He felt bad about killing the horse.
It isn't long before Ann tells him he is a father, his daughter sold on to a pervert. With the women he has freed, he sets off to rescue her, freeing other women as they come across them. Before long he is the head of a crusading army of free women, wreaking vengeance across the land, leaving a trail of death and destruction behind them. It is a far cry from his solitary life in the valley, from the peace and solitude he enjoyed there. It was not a fight against slavery any more; if the human race was to survive and recuperate from the reckoning, a return to a civilized society must be found.
