Synopsis

Inspired by Jack London's 1908 novella of romance, socialist revolution and the Gilded Age, it's Sunset Boulevard meets The Matrix in The Iron Heel by Bix Santana. From the death of capitalism to the birth of full-sensory entertainment, from climate collapse to the flowering of the Brotherhood of Man, The Iron Heel offers a sophisticated, cautionary tale told through an original, illustrated, action-adventure.                                                                        In this noir, science-fiction drama set 700 years in the future, Anthony Meredith―lovelorn, burnt-out, cynical―finds his life upended when rebel Malcontents steal an encoded document containing secrets that threaten to bring down the existing world order, a 400 year old socialist project now decadent and rotten at the core.                                                                                   A reluctant Meredith is drawn into the rebellion, and with opposing forces both ahead and behind, The Iron Heel races to a climatic ending.
