While regular Dose staves off plague symptoms, the dose derived from Simon (The Park’s only Siamese cat...

The increase in tourist traffic will make everyone rich. . . . Wealthy businessman Gavin Freid fans a fire of discontent when he claims the Fellowship—a colony of granola-eating back-to-earthers—opposes development. The damn Fellowship is going to ruin it for everyone! Tension mounts ...

Heed not the limits of time and space, for the Ageless Ones know no such place. And man, that slave to light and life, should free himself with edge of knife.
