You Can't Keep A Good Ranger Down
Hunting for the source of the killer robots terrorizing the Arizona wastes, a team of Desert Rangers stumbles into the town of Darwin's Village. The people there are weak and getting weaker, dying of a disease born inside the research facility that employs them all.
As the rangers search the facility for a cure, one of them, Ghost, is also looking for other answers. Only days before he awoke in a cloning chamber knowing nothing of his previous life except that he'd worn a ranger's star and he'd died in Darwin's Village.
But who killed him? And why? And more importantly, can he fill the boots of the man he used to be?
