Tyrant

Part One of the Sky Fort Series. A war in the second half of the 21st century leaves the world divided: the self-styled God-King rests comfortably in his technologically advanced fortress in the sky over a prosperous and puritanical Europe, while the rest of the world lays in ruin, broken cities long since pillaged and left to rot. Ten years after the end of the war, a street-rat by the name of Anthony makes his way back to New York. Adept at survival by plunder in the post apocalyptic wastes of America, Anthony returns to his childhood home to find it changed beyond recognition. Meanwhile, Theodore Wells, wanted by the government of the God-King, also makes his way towards New York. His method of survival is slightly different, however: Ted owns a pair of outlawed guns, and he's a crack shot to say the least. A ship is waiting for him in the harbor, it's cargo necessary for the Rebellion's secret plan. All goes smoothly, until he meets a certain street-rat.
