"Snake Plissken may have escaped from New York, but now he's America's most wanted outlaw. His only safe haven is the rogue state of Florida. But once he crosses the DMZ, his troubles continue. Florida's mad dictators want the state to secede and they want Snake's help. The man with no country is now caught between two."--Back cover.
