Synopsis: Major Preston was a man who thrived on war. He is accidentally placed in suspended animation for centuries. When he awakens, he avoids mad mutants, then finds a city protected by a force field.

He is to be isolated for the rest of his life so that the plague doesn't spread. The plague's name is violence.
