Hammer of the Forge 2: The Reckoning
 |
The fabric of space and time is torn asunder and Earth becomes a nexus - a gateway - to countless alien worlds and the forces of magic and the supernatural. Thus begins the saga of Rifts.
Now imagine not one¸ but three galaxies said to contain millions of inhabited worlds.
At its center is Phase World¸ itself the commercial and technological center of the universe and terminus of all known spacelanes. A world where transdimensional gates reach to hundreds of other universes.
All of it is said to be the creation of the mythical Cosmic Forge. A wonder capable of giving birth to a million galaxies. A sentient force of magic and technology and life that¸ when misused but once¸ long ago¸ hid itself away¸ but watches and waits. For what¸ no one knows. While it waits¸ the Forge sometimes reaches out to touch the few who are worthy¸ and gift them with the power of the cosmos.
The continuing adventures of Cosmo-Knight Caleb Vulcan carry our hero across space and time to be pitted against one enemy after another. The first is the wicked Royal Kreeghor¸ Geryon¸ commander of the Shadowstar¸ a dreadnaught rumored to carry a star-slaying weapon capable of snuffing out entire solar systems.
Then Caleb must once again face the mad Elf¸ Elias Harkonnen. A soulless psychopath who quit the Invincible Guardsmen because they did not offer him enough opportunities to kill people. A mad dog who relishes the thought of adding a Cosmo-Knight to his list of illustrious victims.
As each chapter unfolds¸ our hero faces new challenges and encounters friends and foes¸ and twists and turns too shocking to reveal on this back cover.
Such is the power and legacy of a Cosmo-Knight.
