The year is 2131. Anon-nuclear war has left the earth barren. Deunan Knute roams the badlands, oneof the many soldiers who, with lines of communication cut, continue to fight,unaware that the war has ended. Deunan is never one to take things lying down: ahighly trained soldier with police and SWAT experience, she is prepared fornearly anything -- but not for the heavily armed helicopter that assaults herwithout warning. Before she realizes what's going on, Deunan is losingconsciousness: her last thought is a hazy realization that she's been hit by atranquilizer. Not only that, but one of the perpetrators is her old loveBriareos. He has arrived with the beautiful Hitomi to intercept Deunan and takeher back with them to the enigmatic utopia, Olympus.
