What dies in Vegas, stays in Vegas! Everything was fine until a bit of silvery salvage transported Stonewall just outside the ruins of Las Vegas, a vital trading hub between the West Coast and the rest of post-apocalyptic North America. In the blink of an eye, Stonewall and his companions Diana and Zew find themselves in a dry and deadly land two thousand miles from home. There’s only one road out of Vegas heading back home, and it’s claimed by the Red Line Raiders, a band of road warriors that relentlessly attack any who travel through their territory.

Their last hope is to catch a ride on the trading caravan traveling east to Colorado, but time is running short before the traders hunker down for the winter. With no apparent way to finesse a ride, they are forced to consider contest in the gladiatorial pits to earn a place in the caravan.

Beneath the shattered moon only the strongest survive.
