A few moments later, there is a terrific flash on the freeway as Mad Dog Michigan’s speedster comes smashing through the burning barricade.

The speedster is badly damaged in the collision, but it creates a gap through which two more Lions clan trucks come racing, close behind the lead vehicle. They stop in the centre of the freeway and unload their passengers swiftly. The clansmen come racing up the slopes, on either side, with their guns blazing.

Rickenbacker appears and jumps into the hollow beside you and Kate. ‘Now the fat’s … in … the fire,’ he says, labouring to catch his breath. ‘Let’s give ’em a welcome they won’t forget in a hurry.’

As the first of the Lions draw near to the hollow, you take up your gun once more and prepare to greet them with a hail of lead.
