Sample file The Rifter® Number 82 Your Guide to the Palladium Megaverse®! 1 Dedication – To the memory of my beloved friend, Erick Wujcik. He died 10 years ago, but his passion for games, pushing the envelope, thinking big, and Palladium Books is still with me — with all of us – today. Erick’s legacy not only continues in the games and sourcebooks that bear his name, but in everyone he had touched over the years. And that is a great many people around the world. I would say I miss him, and I do, except ... I feel him (and Kay) with me every single day. Still prodding me to push my ideas further and sending me hope and inspiration when I need them most.

Other-dimensional beings often referred to as “demons” torment, stalk and prey upon humans. Alien life forms, monsters, robots, gods and demigods, as well as magic, insanity, and combat are all as- pects of this book.

Please note that none of us at Palladium Books® condone or encourage the occult, the practice of magic, the use of drugs, or violence. An epic sourcebook for the Rifts® series. Compatible with the entire Palladium Books® Megaverse® 1 Dedication This book is dedicated to the late, great Elizabeth Mackay, a warrior woman as strong as any Shemarrian. Friend, “second mother,” and the greatest cheerleader an aspiring writer could ever ask for, she will continue to be missed. May her memory shine brighter than the light of the sun, stars and moon. – Josh Sinsapaugh, 2009 Special Thanks I have to acknowledge the contribution that John Pemberton unknowingly made to this manuscript when he invented my beverage of choice all those years ago. Am I being silly? Probably. But without that caffeine this book wouldn’t exist. Silliness aside, an even bigger thanks goes out to Kevin Siembieda, the folks at Palladium Books, and all of the freelance artists for their work on this book, and just for being a group of awesome guys and gals. And of course, thanks to my friends and family.
