But, before the night is through, will anybody get what they wish for?
With a cry of “Stand and deliver!” the masked rider bursts forth from a moon lit copse to descend upon wealthy travellers and relieve them of their spoils. The very archetype of a highway robber.
But this is no romanticised 18th century cliché playing out on the king’s highway. This is latter-day Broken Britain where the divide between the haves and the have nots is clearly defined, and having endured the latter for far too long, this dandy Highwayman is determined to find a place amongst the former.
Armed with a barrel load of determination and an irrepressible panache for theatrics, the outlaw Armitage Shanks rides out upon his twin wheeled steed, hell bent on making good by doing bad.
“For an island that’s registered off limits, this place sure sees a lot of traffic.” Gary Cribdon observed from the deck of the Ruby Rojo.
Five miles off the coast of Rotazo lies the remote island of Tiarona, a verdant lure for several parties with diverse motives.
Some come seeking liberation, some come to plunder, and some have come to locate something elusive that fell from the sky and has remained hidden, until now...
