When a bomb explodes in the center of a densely packed protest rally, Gatecrasher Hex Spencer is first on the scene and what begins as a routine call shifts into a life-threatening chase through choked streets of Palomar City. Hex's only concern is saving her patient and collecting her fee but with each turn she is drawn further into a complex web of the dangerous forces surging through the corridors of power that will destroy anything - or anyone - that gets in their way. Welcome to Palomar City, a tightly-packed, overpopulated American mega-city. Over the last sixty years, a series of traffic control devices known as Gates have transformed this thriving metropolis into a pressure cooker of political and socio-ethnic tension that is on the verge of exploding. One of the only groups with unrestricted passage through the Gates are the emergency medical teams, nicknamed "The Gatecrashers, " who find themselves in the middle of a building conflict that threatens to tear Palomar City apart once and for all. From the mind of creator ZACHARY MORTENSEN comes THE GATECRASHERS - an intense, immersive storyworld about a city struggling to save itself and the people who risk their lives every day to save yours.This edition is printed on crisp, fast-turning, 70lb stock.
