NEW DARK AGE Centuries after the Cataclysm, men struggle against ignorance and fear. Technology is dead. Bands of humans cower in hiding—from beasts, and men more vicious than beasts. Dug within a mountain by scientists long dead, Saluston is a safe haven for the Hunter and his people. Outside wait danger and death. Inside means safety-until attack comes unforeseen. Escape would mean fleeing Saluston. The only alternative is battle.
