520    The year is 1877, automations and steam-powered dirigible 
       gunships have transformed the United States in the 
       aftermath of the Civil War. All of the country's land west
       of the Mississippi was sold to Russia nearly fifty years 
       earlier, and Little Russia, as it's now called, is ruled 
       by the son of Tsar Alexander II. The United States is 
       being run as a police state by former secretary of war 
       Edward Stanton, a power-hungry criminal who rules with an 
       iron fist. Liam McCool is an outlaw, known among other 
       crooks as King of the Cracksmen. But his glory days as a 
       safecracker and the head of a powerful New york gang end 
       when he's caught red-handed. Threatened with prison unless
       he informs on his own brethren fighting a guerilla war 
       against Stanton's tyranny, McCool's been biding his time, 
       trying to keep the heart of him long enough to escape to 
       San Francisco with his sweetheart Maggie. But when she 
       turns up murdered, McCool discovers a trail of breadcrombs
       that lead all the way up to the top of Stanton's criminal 
       organization.
