The super-continent Pangaea, on which mankind has lived its entire life as a species, has become a dangerous and unpredictable place. The ancient oppressors known as the Aristai are tearing civilization apart in order to rebuilt it in their image. If the nations of the world are to weather the storm of death and destruction, they will need heroes--not just leaders and lawmen, but also saviors from the unlikeliest of places. A bodyguard who's lost his way in the wilderness. A chef who knows the value of keeping everything in its place. A truck driver carrying more than what's in his truck. A professor who's unlocked the greatest secret of the super-continent. To guide you on your journey through the lonely mountain peaks, the wide, wild plains, and the teeming seacoasts of Pangaea, we've enlisted the talents of a distinguished fellowship of science fiction luminaries--Danielle Ackley-McPhail, Ilsa J.
