From the introduction: Humanity was never the apex predator of this planet. The masters of the world were merely sleeping, hibernating until the world was full of prey once more. It was the dragons that caused the last extinction event and when they were awoken once more by a mining operation in the city of London, they have almost caused another. The reign of fire began decades ago when the only male dragon in the world was disturbed from it’s rest, waking and spawning an ever growing swarm of powerful flying beasts. They took the human world by storm, wiping out countless cities and overwhelming the world’s military with endless numbers and power. Years of hopeless battle raged on but eventually humanity was crushed. Decades passed since the day it all began and what little is left of humanity is spread across the world in small pockets, tiny villages and towns doing their best to stay quiet, keep their eyes on the sky and keep surviving. Some wish for a different path. A convoy of militaristic Americans, armed with tanks and heavy weaponry, is due to arrive in Britain in a few weeks time, seeking the source of the dragon menace. They’ll meet a man named Quinn, a leader of a surviving town, who may hold the key to the male dragon’s location. He was the one to inadvertently wake it as a child, after all.
