Though the people of Fort Hope have went on to evolve and become a technologically advanced, civilized, orderly, walled "Super-city", it is still far from perfect because of its blind isolationisn - hiding behind walls and living in Smart cities, while those out side the protection of the massive defences have become scattered remnants. Horrible attempts to reform into some semblance of a society: The outcast Nevilles become some kind of bizarre settlement based on thespianisim...only when you "die" on stage, you really DIE on stage. Anyone over fifty is expected to make their 'grand finale' in a deadly play so that the young can have their chance in the spotlight before their own turn being ...'killed' off the show, shall we say?And then there are The Providers - or, as the name devolved into over time,'Viders. A vicious horde of cannibals, -I assume that this is the gangs that harassed the first series protagonist devolved and grouped together and into a ruthless society based on the belief that only the strongest survive, And in their eyes, your either a 'Vider or you are a slave at best, or in most cases their next meal. Human meat is prized above all else; animals of any kind are 'Unclean' and not fit for a 'Viders table... the slaves are rounded up, given as tribute from the cowering townships, that have sprung up here and there, hoping to buy safety for the rest. But in the end, the 'Viders literally eat their way through town after town. None are safe. None can stand against their savage mentality, except for a few known as Raiders, whom fight back in a guerilla warfare against the relentless cannibals. But there are not enough of these brave Raiders. So the raiders fight, the 'Viders continue to eat their way toward their ultimate goal ...Fort hope.!The descendants of Mavis Spanner and David Dawson must end this new plague of cannibalism. Or the New World Order will be a world of eat, or be eaten.
