[Cade Stryker 01] • The Last Gunfighter of Space

**THE WORLD NEEDS A HERO. IT FINDS A THIEF**

5050 AD.

Earth as we know it has been decimated. It is a radioactive wasteland.

The few millions who survived, fled to Calara, a planet in the Icarus Galaxy, where they have established civilization.

But, life on Calara hasn't turned out the way they wanted it.

AI rule over them.

Which wasn't the way humans saw how their lives turning out when they arrived on the new planet.

They brought their ways and technology. They tried to colonize the other planets and stars in the galaxy. As humans have tended to do.

Then, AI took over.

But now, the humans are rebelling. Remember history?

They need someone to rally around. To lead them. To show them the way.

Enter Cade Stryker.

Let's not glorify him.

He is a thief.

He sails Andy, short for Andromeda, his ship, in the farthest reaches of space.

Trading with anyone, anywhere.

Well, he calls it trade. Everyone else calls it smuggling.

He thinks he is like Wyatt Earp. Because where he flies, is indeed like the Wild West. No rules. No borders.

There's the small matter that Earp was a lawman. And Cade is a... let's not harp on that.

So, Cade.

He isn't in the hero business.

No, sir.

Cade is too smart for that.

Because heroes have a short shelf life.

And need to have noble intentions.

Cade and noble don't go together.

Nope. The fate of humans definitely Does Not lie in the hands of Cade Stryker.

No way.
