It has been truly stated that those who fail to learn and understand history, are condemned to repeat history!

For those in the cities, it was the end....

It was bound to happen sooner or later.

Not because man failed to understand his fellow man, but because he failed to understand himself.

There wasn't much left afterwards--after the golden showers of deadly dust and the blinding flashes that blotted out the light from the sun.

And all because man continued to confuse emotion with reason.

But somehow, as before, man survived....

"Don't touch!" Sinzor's command shot through the chill morning air like an arrow.
