The Guardians - To Save Us From Ourselves. They are the enemies of promise. They are our only hope. The Guardians: a world-wide cabal, ghosts in the global machine. Carefully selected men and women, all outsiders, yet all dedicated to the cause of stability. Their task: to stop science from running wild, by any means necessary. Vowed to secrecy, they operate on the fringes, walking in the shadows. Only they know what links a devastating explosion in Siberia in 1908 to a secret research facility in the Nevada desert in the final days of the second millennium. Only they know the truth. Only they know that....We Have Never Been Alone.
