SPAD

A post-apocalyptic novel by a master of action fiction

It was not World War III, but the greatest civil war in history. It lasted for forty years. To this day, historians argue about how it began. But one thing is certain - it's not over yet. Millions of dead, a shattered Europe fragmented into hundreds of small states whose borders are changing so fast that no one even tries to draw them on maps. And you can lose your freedom or your life just as quickly in this world. Different state, different laws. And those who have guns can make their own laws. That is, only until you run into a stronger legislator.

A few tens of thousands of people are surviving in the rubble of Prague, trying their best to preserve something like civilization. But the rest of the world is not interested in civilization. The rest of the world wants to survive at all costs, usually at the expense of someone else. And so a human life is not worth much - maybe a few meat cans or radiation pills. And the farther away from the former capital, the wilder the conditions become. A group of war veterans must leave Prague. They will travel through a territory where the government changes every now and then depending on who has the upper hand in a shootout, who pulls in and who has more men or ammunition. They have one debt to pay. A debt of honour from a time when such things still had value.
