Wrathworld takes place under the domes of Mars, where a moralistic government provides recreational cyber-realities for its citizens to escape from their crowded, repressive world. Foster Grey is a middle aged man forced by circumstances to traverse these alternative "worlds" to rescue his Virtual family, a lovely young wife and two kids from Wrathworld, where Real World preds are authorized to vent their frustrations by committing acts of violence. To save his family, Foster must reach Wrathworld through the side doors of the cyber-realities pursued by the Morality Police (think Taliban). Along the way, he walks on the sea with Jesus Christ; falls into erotic-romantic encounters with beautiful, scheming women; and fights an ultimate, high-tech battle with the help of a virtual John Wayne. There is also a vast, underground complex of great antiquity, and an ancient silicon genie who might be the key to powers beyond imagination.
