Fred Savage was the child star of the popular TV series "The Wonder Years". This has nothing at all to do with him.
Instead, the year is 1982. Fred Savage is a bloodied veteran, an adrenaline junkie, a self-styled booze artist, and a sweet tooth. He's also a mercenary.
His kind is a dying breed. World leaders desperate to distract their people throw their armies at any war they can find, and the old brush fires of Africa are flickering out. A dreadful, dreary outbreak of peace looms over the merc community.
In spite of it all Savage, an ambitious and unbridled Australian soldier of fortune, continues to look for the perfect war.
