Set in a post-holocaust future, CLOUD WARRIOR follows the conflict between two disparate societies attempting to dominate the same planet.

They await the fulfilment of a prophecy - Talisman - foretelling a new apocalypse which will kill off all their enemies. But they haven't reckoned on the Trackers...
