Als erstem Insassen in der Geschichte gelingt ihm eine waghalsige Flucht aus dem Hochsicherheitsgefängnis der Initiative. Anschließend wird sein Team von den meisten Spezies als Verbrecher gesucht und sie sind gezwungen, ihre Arbeit als Söldner in Unterweltkreisen fortzusetzen, während der Lorganische Krieg immer heftiger wütet.

Mit hoher Intelligenz und einem zynischen, rationalen Blick auf die Menschheit wehrt sich Kane auf die einzige Weise, die ihm einfällt - er wird kriminell. Als er durch einen Bankraub Zugang in die Welt des organisierten Verbrechens von Rio de Janeiro erhält, verändert sich sein Leben komplett. Schnell muss er erkennen, dass man sich in dieser brutalen Umgebung keine Freunde macht. Als seine besten Freunde den Preis des Verrats bezahlen, trifft Kane auf eine mysteriöse Diebin des Katzenvolkes der T'zun, die ihn unter ihre Fittiche nimmt. Gemeinsam gehen sie auf eine gefährliche Reise, die ihn für immer prägen wird. Aus dem vorsichtigen Jungen wird der Mann, den man später nur noch den Silver Wolf nennen wird.

Gemeinsam mit der Krodaa-Scharfschützin Ruby Bell bilden sie ein vielseitiges Team, das sich aufgrund des Spitznamens ihres Anführers, dem Silver Wolf, das Wolf Pack nennt. Zunächst noch unbekannt, arbeitet sich die Truppe durch eine Reihe gefährlicher Jobs auf diversen Welten an die Spitze der Söldner-Nahrungskette und wird mit Aufträgen betraut, die nicht nur moralisch zweifelhaft sind, sondern auch den Verlauf des Krieges verändern können. Während die Geschehnisse von "Der Commander: Hüter von Utopia" und "Der Commander: Downfall" sich entfalten, ist auch das Wolf Pack in den vier Sektoren aktiv und arbeitet mit einigen altbekannten Charakteren zusammen.

Download or read book Imagining the Global written by Fabienne Darling-Wolf and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2014-12-22 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a series of case studies of globally distributed media and their reception in different parts of the world, Imagining the Global reflects on what contemporary global culture can teach us about transnational cultural dynamics in the 21st century. A focused multisited cultural analysis that reflects on the symbiotic relationship between the local, the national, and the global, it also explores how individuals’ consumption of global media shapes their imagination of both faraway places and their own local lives. Chosen for their continuing influence, historical relationships, and different geopolitical positions, the case sites of France, Japan, and the United States provide opportunities to move beyond common dichotomies between East and West, or United States and “the rest.” From a theoretical point of view, Imagining the Global endeavors to answer the question of how one locale can help us understand another locale. Drawing from a wealth of primary sources—several years of fieldwork; extensive participant observation; more than 80 formal interviews with some 160 media consumers (and occasionally producers) in France, Japan, and the United States; and analyses of media in different languages—author Fabienne Darling-Wolf considers how global culture intersects with other significant identity factors, including gender, race, class, and geography. Imagining the Global investigates who gets to participate in and who gets excluded from global media representation, as well as how and why the distinction matters.
