Inside a post-apocalyptic America which has shattered right into a hundred perpetually warring fiefdoms, anyone with a loud voice and a doomsday weapon can be king (and probably has been). Duncan Archer-con man, carpetbagger, survivor-has found ways to somehow successfully navigate the finish of the world, with its huge killer robots, radioactive mutants, mad scientists, rampant nanotechnology, armed gangs, ocean monsters, and 101 unpleasant ways to die. But when he meets Captain James Barrow, a former OSS agent and the most wished guy in the world, Duncan discovers himself a reluctant hero swept up in a whole new level of weird, rollicking adventure… And the second most needed guy in the world. Tales from the Radiation Age is normally a throwback towards the pulp-origins of technology fiction, painting a vision of the future that’s richly detailed, wildly imaginative-and completely too easy to assume.
