The Veils of Azlaroc PDF
Preview The Veils of Azlaroc
AZLAROC - a planet where shimmering veils of pure energy fall at yearly intervals, sealing everything (and everyone) on its surface at that moment into a time "pocket."
IMAGINE - yourself as a settler, living in a translucent "pocket" that makes your life an almost ageless state, as time in each pocket passes so slowly that senility and death are meaningless concepts.
IMAGINE - yourself as a tourist, struck by the wonder of the shimmering planet, yet careful of the date, knowing that to be on Azlaroc at Veilfall is to be there forever.
IMAGINE - yourself as the one man on Azlaroc who knows for a certainty that, this time, Veilfall will come early, and without warning.
