Set in an alternate 1985 this series of short stories chronicles the life of Ex-Special forces soldier turned band roadie Johnny 'Viper' Malone. Here the world has been split in between two great empires. The Mesozoic Combine is a group of lizard men who fled deep under the earth to escape disaster millions of years ago. The other is the Syndar Empire a group of interdimensional aliens who came to earth through a portal in the 1960's. A different kind of cold war is simmering across the world, and one thing is clear whoever wins Mankind is sure to lose. Told in a format similar to Lester Dent's the Gadget Man, what you'll find here is a series of loosely interconnected short stories chronicling the life and times of Viper Malone as he tours this dystopian hellscape as a roadie for the band Devil's Due and putting his skills to to good use helping Humanity wherever he can.
