THE FORCE . . . Led by Blade, they were seven hand-picked members of the Freedom Federation. Each was a volunteer because no one had the guts to order them to go anywhere; each alone was worth an army - together, they couldn't be stopped. THE MISSION . . . Sanitize the Outlands of Oregon, which were under the rule of a vile race of mutants called the Reptiloids. Their diabolical leader had a taste for pitting humans against each other in Roman arena combat, and all the lizard-men had a taste for human flesh. They had rounded up all the men, women and children in the territory and were preparing for a great feast - but what they didn't know was that Blade was coming to dinner, and the special of the day was lizard stew.
