When all the heroes are gone, who will fill their shoes?
THE FOOT SOLDIERS is the story of three teenage boys in an oppressive Dickensian future who unearth the weapons they need in a Graveyard of Forgotten Super Heroes to take a stand against the oppressors in their city, only to discover that freedom is not easily won, or kept.
Like Arthur pulling the sword from the stone, like Aladdin unearthing the genie’s lamp, it is an epic of personal discovery and a lesson in the wielding of power. It is a story about heroes. And the high cost of walking in their path.The Foot Soldiers will become heroes unlike any others as they are forced to fulfill an impossible quest -- to defeat an enemy by also saving that enemy from themselves.
