The ambition and folly that destroyed three-quarters of humanity lives on in the radioactive rubble of nuclear holocaust. In the South Pacific, an insane fanatic and his army of bloodthirsty killers have begun obliterating the last scattered outposts of civilization. The madman's goal: to rule what remains of the shattered Earth. For that, he needs the awesome power of the U.S.S. Liberator...and he holds captive the one man who can make his demented dream a reality. For unless the crew surrenders the mighty submarine intact...Captain Tom Donovan will die!
U.S.S. Liberator—sailing the oceans of a nuclear-ravaged world on the most dangerous mission of all... survival! A radio call for help has reached the U.S.S. Liberator from the shattered metropolis of New York. Two families have somehow managed to emerge unscathed from the fire and devastation of nuclear Armageddon. But rescuing them may prove an impossible task. For thousands of radiation-crazed "white shirts" have arisen from the ruins of the once-great city for one final, savage assault on the desperate survivors' stronghold—trapping Tom Donovan and his brave crew in the murderous center of an unrelenting reign of zombie terror.
Hidden in an underground fortress, the insane U.S. president and his elite corps of stormtroopers, survivors of the nuclear holocaust that has left the world in ruins, make plans to enslave what remains of the human race. Original.
