From the back of the book. The new nation of Turtalia is caught in a death struggle with the evil Doradan state. Warfare has spread to San Francisco, where a determined band of guerillas is holding out in the hills watching the destruction of this once beautiful city. With the stakes high-for freedom, democracy and the rule of law and not men-the struggle against the police state of Dorado is fierce. But the spectre of none of these freedoms is worse. Don't give up!
