Kevin Murdock, martial artist extraordinaire and longtime resident of the planet Oomah, is still center stage - and reluctant - to mentor any of the new batch of colonist arrivals. He alone is the remaining fair law on the planet.

The new arrivals are with few leaders, and more clueless or dangerous individuals. Meanwhile, some of the previously arrived colonists are stirring up hate and discontent.

Surprise awaits Murdock and his family. Are the plateau dwellers going to be the seeds of a new civilization, or will they devolve into something else... something dangerous to the remains of humanity?
