For forty years, Uncle Dread has ruled New Zealand's criminal empire from his isolated perch in the Chatham Islands. Not through drugs or chaos, but through calculated control of the nation's economic arteries. The Iron Tide doesn't just run protection rackets and unions; they own pieces of Parliament itself. When the Crimson Serpents murder a nineteen-year-old courier and declare war, Uncle Dread unleashes his most lethal weapon: the Phantoms, four riders on the world's fastest motorcycles who deliver justice at speeds exceeding 300 kilometers per hour. In a world where brotherhood is everything, trust becomes the deadliest weapon of all.
