Twenty years after the nuclear exchange that ended modern civilization, Daimyo Rikimaru Hanzo is the senior protector of the Shogunate. He is a Specialistāone of Teledyneās enhanced warriors from the Corporate Warsāgifted with enhanced strength and near-limitless endurance.
Rikimaru, along with his fellow Specialists Ayame and Mikael, have carved out a small island kingdom in the Strait of Juan De Fuca, northwest of Seattle. Together, they have rebuilt a semblance of civilization under Shogun Kojimaās rule.
Resources are scarce, though, and they are in a constant state of low-level, casual warfare with the nearby Victorians. Their militia guards the islands with little more than bows and spears, and the Shogun forbids them from going on the offensive. Itās better, Kojima reasons, to lead by example as there has already been too much death and destruction.
But when an old enemy from his Teledyne days marches a horde of near-feral raiders out of the ruins of Seattleāup to the Shogunateās very doorstepāall that changes, and Rikimaru is forced to confront his past if he is to forge a future for the people heās sworn to defendā¦no matter what the cost.
