From the introduction: Nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the St. Lawrence River, Maine is the northernmost portion of the eastern seaboard, representing the northern edge of the Appalachian Mountains. The shore is rocky and jagged; many lighthouses have been built along the new coastline, as the pre-Rifts lighthouses are now partially submerged. Surprisingly enough, many of the old pre-Rifts lighthouses are still in operation. The primary occupation in Maine is lobster fishing; many in the Chi-Town elite as well as people in the Lazlos and elsewhere, consider fresh Maine lobster a delicacy.
