The fabric of space and time is torn asunder and the Earth becomes a nexus - a stepping stone - to countless alien worlds. 300 years later, humankind struggles against inhuman invaders and dark magic from the Rifts. Alien beings from other dimensions, known as "D-Bees" share our planet, as do monsters and supernatural horrors. Earth has become an alien world unto itself. A place awash by an ever shifting tide of magic, madness and chaos. Magic and technology collide, and treachery and revenge reign in the age old battle between the forces of good and evil. The only problem is telling which is which? Rifts: Sonic Boom brings to life the fantastic world of the popular Rifts RPG in the first book of the epic trilogy.
