Albert Einstein once observed, "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity and I'm not sure about the former." John Thomas Rourke and the forces of freedom couldn't agree more.

Story
When John Rourke's daughter is kidnapped by a Russian agent, Rourke follows their trail across a frozen Arctic wasteland - and stumbles upon a small pocket of humanity living in a tropical paradise surrounded by ice and snow. The community of Icelandic descendants has flourished in seclusion during the long years following the fiery holocaust, unaware of the fierce and bloody struggle in the outside world between the forces of freedom and Communist tyranny.
Summary
John Thomas Rourke's world is now roughly one-third of what it was; everything above latitude 35 degrees north and below latitude 35 degrees south is encased in glacial ice. The geography drastically changed but little else did. Maniacs and evil had still tried to dominate those who wanted to be free. Days became weeks, weeks became months and months turned into years as he battled and vanquished the enemies of humanity in every form and shape damnation threw at him. His last victory, almost 17 years ago, granted him peace a peace he had courted, a peace he had sought one he never believed he would find. That peace is about to end; Rourke's world is threatened again by forces he never conceived of. Are they so unpredictable situations so dire there is no way to plan ahead?
