Humankind was commanded to fill the earth and subdue it, and they have obeyed. In doing so, many have forgotten their Creator; thus, Noah of Eden, a preacher of righteousness, has spent the last few centuries as a wanderer in the world, proclaiming the old, true ways.

Gathering companions, he races to avert disaster where he can, while realizing that--in more ways than he could have imagined--the earth, and everything in it, is fallen.
