If you can't change the cards you're dealt, change how you play your hand!

Max Dauntless - Us Against the World, is the third instalment of the series. Luke Sanders and Tessa Winters return. Following the Duke's death and his clan's downfall at the hands of the vigilante, as the town's gangs battle fiercely, the sinister crime lord, Mr Big, and his ruthless gang, Chaos Dawn, rapidly seize the town of Arlingston. Dominating the criminal underworld, the crime lord governs Arlingston with a harsh, unyielding grip.

As their wicked intentions are revealed, Luke and Tessa, ever defiant, begin their resistance against the persecution, plotting to bring about their downfall. The schoolyards and chaotic streets continue to be a constant battleground. Still struggling with her inner demons and addiction, Tessa teams up with Luke as he fights the criminal underworld, intent on finding his father's killer.

The fearless crime-fighters fight their battle on two fronts: one against Mr Big and his large criminal network, the other against Sebastien Fitzpatrick and his paedophile ring, a savage group of sexual predators and child groomers. As Luke and Tessa delve into the investigation of the brutal group, Carnal Lust, they stumble upon an extensive operation that pulls the brave teenagers into its perilous grasp.

The discovery of a close friend caught in the clutches of the deadly grooming gang ignites a race against time to save the day, culminating in a dramatic showdown at the sinister sex house known as the House of Aphrodite.

Fear is overcome only by hope.
