Overview

FOLLOWING ON FROM EXTINCTION GAME AND SURVIVAL GAME...THE THIRD AND FINAL VOLUME OF THE SAGA OF THE PATHFINDERS

It's the end of the world...again.

Over the years, the Pathfinders - each the sole survivor of a humanity-destroying apocalypse, but on different alternate Earths - have become a tight-knit team as they search for an alternate they, along with the Authority, might one day call home.

Now, at last, one has been found: an Edenic alternate Earth on which humanity never evolved. But just when their work seems over, new threats emerge.

One comes from within the Authority itself, but the other is so completely unexpected that the Pathfinders are quickly overwhelmed.

The race is on to deal with the final - and greatest - threat this rag-tag band of survivors have yet encountered as they journey through alternate Earths rendered lifeless by rogue singularities or littered with ancient and perilous ruins. Faced with their own extinction, can they pull together one last time...as well as save the Authority from itself?
