LONG AGO AND FAR AWAY A PEOPLE WHO HAD NOT
KNOWN VIOLENCE IN MILLINIA MET TO CONSIDER A
MAJOR THREAT LOOMING ON THEIR HORIZON.
AFTER LONG DISCUSSION THEY REACHED TREMBLING
AGREEMENT TOACCEPT THE UNTHINKABLE. WITH THAT
AGREEMENT THE WATCHER GROUPS WERE BORN.
THEIR TASKS WERE TO OVERSEE THE MULTITUDE OF
EXPRIMENTS DESIGNED TO PRODUCE A RACE OF
WARRIORS CAPABLE OF MEETING THE FUTURE
THREAT TO THE CIVILIZED UNIVERSE.
BY THE TIME THIS TALE UNFOLDS MOST OF THOSE
EXPERIMENTS HAVE BEEN TOTAL FAILURES. AND OF
THE FEW REMAINING ONLY ONE, AN IMPROBABLE ONE
AT THAT APPEARS TO HAVE POSSIBLY MANAGED TO
PREVENT THE ALMOST INEVITABLE FAILURE THAT
OTHER RACES GAINING THE POWER TO DESTROY EACH
OTHER ON A GRAND SCALE SEEM UNABLE TO RESIST.
THIS IS A STORY OF A GROUP WHO CAN'T SEEM TO
RESIST MEDDLING, ANOTHER WHO CAN'T ACCEPT
SUCCESS AND A COUPLE WHO CAN'T RESIST
EACH OTHER OR THE INEVITABLE CONCLUSION TO
WHICH THEIR UNUSUAL GIFTS DRIVE THEM.
