The Overlords appeared suddenly over every city - intellectually,
technologically, and militarily superior to humankind. Benevolent, they
made few demands: unify earth, eliminate poverty, and end war. With
little rebellion, humankind agreed, and a golden age began.
But
at what cost? With the advent of peace, man ceases to strive for
creative greatness, and a malaise settles over the human race. To those
who resist, it becomes evident that the Overlords have an agenda of
their own.
As civilization approaches the crossroads, will the Overlords spell the end for humankind... or the beginning?
