'Am I going to have a problem with you, Wulf?''Me, sir? Never. No sir. Not one.'Our antiheroes (though even that is stretching the definition) have travelled to the planet Dale in the hopes of safety and solace. With its towering buildings and pristine snow-covered streets, and not to mention its costumed vigilantes keeping things colourful, it seems like a big step up.Except Dale is a false promise. The world is stuck in an endless cold war between two giant empires, separated by a vast and deadly wilderness. The status quo is everything. Our troublemaking group find themselves thrust into darkness and squalor, in a city built on corruption, exploitation and prejudice.Life can only get harder, and if it isn't their gruelling new jobs breaking their backs, it's the blackmailing presence of the Organisation - the international crime syndicate that is the true power on this planet . . .One way or another, something's going to break.The Fifth Place is about the universe under mysterious control, and the group of antiheroic misfits determined to survive it and be free no matter what comes. Ideal for fans of Stephen King's The Dark Tower books, Garth Ennis's Preacher comics, Joe Abercrombie, and the Farscape TV series, The Fifth Place is for those who want a pull-no-punches adult series merging western, sci-fi, gritty fantasy, dystopian, adventure and horror genres, with a diverse, irreverent and tragically flawed cast of characters to root for against all odds.
