In a near-future Australia, Black Alice, a rock singer and leader of the Octagon Peace Movement, becomes a target of the totalitarian government. Tricked by scientist Dr Secta, Alice is digitally disintegrated but accidentally re-emerges 113 years later in a post-apocalyptic world. Battling mutants and warlords, he discovers his role in triggering a global nuclear war. Determined to fix his past, Alice becomes an inadvertent time traveller. In another dimension, he learns from an alien, Enki, about a unique gene making him the key to humanity's survival. This is the beginning of Black Alice's adventures in the "Sons of Steel" series, where he fights to save a world teetering on the edge.
