Description: They call him Sos--a man mightier in strength and spirit than the greatest warriors of post-Blast legend.  His past is shrouded in enigma, but now he wanders the earth, writing a heritage in blood and bravery.  To some, he is savior; to others, agent of cataclysm.  One man alone bears the terrible curse of his friendship.  Two mortal women share his doom-driven love.  Yet only Sos knows the ultimate purpose of his strange, violent mission on earth: save mankind--or destroy it forever.
