Violence and the Supernatural

The fictional world of Rifts® is violent, deadly and filled with supernatural monsters. Other-dimen­

sional beings, often referred to as "demons," torment, stalk and prey on humans. Other alien life forms,
monsters, gods and demigods, as well as magic, insanity, and war are all elements in this book.

Some parents may find the violence, magic and supernatural elements of the game inappropriate for
young readers/players. We suggest parental discretion.

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 world book for the Rifts® series.
Compatible with the entire Palladium Books® Megaverse®!

Dedication

To my own sweet Kate, of course, but also to our very special child, Sara, without whom I never would have discovered the reality
of China, in Nanjing, Kunming, Shanghai, and most recently Hong Kong. Without those journeys I would not have had the pleasure of
contributing to this book.

- Erick Wujcik, the 4,71 th Year since the Ascension ofthe Yellow Emperor (2004)

Dedicated to Wayne Smith who meant well and ultimately got the China books off the drawing board and into production, and to
Erick Wujcik whose help and encouragement were invaluable.
