Now, Enforcer Fringe Owldark has been sent with a small crew of seven, each possessing an unusual talent, to investigate their worst fear - the arival of the Hobbs Land gods.
Free will and the reality of God are just two of the timeless issues this courageous band of humans must confront as they strive to decides if complete tolerance and leaving others alone is ever evil... and what they should do if it is.
