This is a totally fun romp of a story. We first meet Ack-Ack Macaque as a cigar smoking, bad mouthed, gun toting WWII fighter pilot. He's a hero who as survived more missions than anyone and junior pilots want to be his wingman. But all is not as it seems.
In a future time a group of rights activists try to 'free' an AI that runs an online multi-player game. It has been showing signs of sentience and they believe it has rights equal to a human and so they want it free to be itself. They believe they can download it from the servers and upload it to who knows where? But that attempt opens up a whole new set of problems.
And so we find ourselves in a plot to steal human consciousness and load it into robotic androids to survive the coming nuclear apocalypse. And somehow a bunch of people thrown together for the craziest of reasons has to save the world. And right in the middle of them all is Ack-Ack Macaque.
