The age from which they spring has nearly drawn to a close. Yet some noble work remains to be done before the end. They come on, knowing that anything left undone, any chance let s lide cannot be paid forward. Their game bags are heavy with a wealth meant to nourish the reader through the leanest of times. Four tales of a once-and-future apocalypse. Two meditations to challenge you to play harder in an already hard world. Introduced by Misha Burnett. Some say they are other than human; they are the penultimate men. "A collection which diverges from today's consensus reality. The same feel as 30s science fiction before the tropes had hardened into clichés." --David Drake, author of NorthworldPocket edition, 268pp Show more
