Awakening (Outlanders, No. 27)

More than two hundred years after Skydark, the hybrid barons cling tenuously to their waning influence, losers in an internecine war to control nuke-shattered America. A new thread has emerged, one whose intimate knowledge of preDark technology fuels a grim new bid for power. To begin, he must penetrate the central nerve node of a small and dedicated band ow warriors fighting to free Earth's survivors of long-ago devastation from slavery and misery...

Crygenically preserved before the nukes obliterated their own way of life, an elite team of battle-hardened American fighting men have now been reactivated for duty, commanded by this supreme manipulator. Their first mission in a tortured new world: move in and secure Cerberus Redoubt and the mat-trans network at any cost. Ina world where trust is hard-won and harder kept, Kane and his fellow exiles must convince Team Phoenix that they are on the same side for humanity, and against the hybrids and their willing human allies.
