The year is 2024 and after a Fourth World War the earth is a desolate wasteland inhabited by scavengers, dangerous nocturnal mutants and the odd 'Solo' like nomadic loner Vic, who roams with his far more intelligent - not to mention telepathic - companion Blood, a "Rover" who searches out supplies, women, and enemies and provides the requisite witty repartee. After Blood sniffs out one particular woman, she seduces Vic and lures him back to an underground society where the old ways of life (Midd find out more...

Aeon is a super cool, super lethal assassin plying her much-in-demand trade in a post apocalyptic future. But when she's hired to off an (apparently) totalitarian leader, for the first time in her rigidly controlled existence, she has doubts.

Under the planet of the apes an older civilisation is discovered, living in the ruins of New York, and worshipping an atom bomb. This is the first sequel, and has some of the mystery and invention of the original, but lacks the originality of the plot.
