Grandfather, Cameron Thorpe, works tirelessly to prepare his grandson, Lachlan, for a monumental battle against evil. This malevolent force Lachlan will face thinks nothing of genocide, the rape and brutality of young women, and the poisoning of his devoted mother who spoiled and nurtured him into adulthood. Following World War IV, Cameron has survived two nuclear holocausts, witnessed the annihilation of his native country, and participated in prophetic reform using unorthodox, and possibly unethical, methods. Although Lachlan could never have imagined the story that would unfold, or the family secrets revealed, Cameron perseveres in ensuring his grandson has the knowledge and know-how to combat man's inhumanity to man.
