The complete trilogy in one volume: Tech-savvy resistance fighters battle a twenty-first-century fascist takeover that threatens the entire planet—and beyond . . . In the near future, Russia invades Western Europe, crisis envelops the United States—and a mercenary army overseen by power-hungry theocrats and authoritarians takes advantage of the chaos. But a band of resistance fighters, technologically skilled and as dedicated to freedom as they are to sex, drugs, and rock and roll, intend to do what needs to be done to save humanity from mass-scale genocide—including those humans living in the world's first orbiting space colony . . .
