The lights have gone out all over Appalachia…just a few settlements remain as the PACT and MODUS stretch out their hands to crush any resistance to their plans. Foundation faces its final reckoning, even as Ward’s desperate plan to ensure the safety of its civilians is put into action, while the Colonel finally arrives at Vault Town, on the wings of a stolen PACT Vertibird. The remaining factions of Appalachia look to Valeria for answers and a plan to fight back against the rising darkness…but it may already be too late. Trader Red finds herself back at Big Bend Tunnel as her story comes full circle…and Vinny Costas may learn the hell hath no fury like a Crytpid scorned. Appalachia is descending into darkness and time is running out…but hope still remains, however slight…that the best laid plans of mice and men could still be turned aside.
