The Great Old Ones ruled the Earth aeons before the rise of man. Remains of their cyclopean cities and on remote islands in the Pacific, buried amid the shifting sands of vast deserts, and in the frozen wastes of the polar extremes. Originally they came to this world from the stars. Now they sleep - some deep within the earth and others beneath the sea. When the stars are right they will rise, and once again walk the earth.(from the back cover)
