Preparations are made, and both the London Committee and the Last Prophet have extreme methods of recruitment.

Three years and hundreds of bullets later, Orchard Close is holding together. The cabal dreams up more ways to get their latest group of requirements: gardeners and women of loose morals. Food production is a major concern for the marts and for the enclaves. Caddi pushes Harold with his new games, taunting, testing and trying to figure out what makes him tick - so he can exploit it.

Orchard Close survived Caddi's invasion and smashed the General's army, but was the price too high?

This time they don't even have a leader, because Soldier Boy will be out of action for months. With their enemies occupied, the Orchard Close survivors try to come to terms with the deaths, the destruction, and a growing conviction they can never win, that the government and scroats will keep coming.

As Caddi's killers rampage through Orchard Close, the usual defenders are helpless, but unlikely heroes make their own stand. As dawn shows the extent of the death and destruction, Harold reaches out to the Barbies. A huge bribe buys medicine and treatment at Beth's, but that won't save those too badly hurt to move. The pyres hold a third of Orchard Close's residents. Many are badly injured, and the General is still out there. Despite the damage, refugees still arrive, some of them providing a ray of hope.

The sorcerous and church communities know the Master of Castle House has claimed a demesne, now they want to find out more.

Bobby B is given a choice: death or the Army. His choice leads him to become a Timer - a group of soldiers so disposable that only about 10 percent survive a 10 year tour. Because the corporations that run society value property more than life, they don’t even give them real bullets.

Bobby and a few other Timers join together to make their own squad, Beebi’s Basteds, which does things their own unorthodox way but still manages to keep them alive.
