In the deepest trenches of the sea, a sarcophagal, submarinean exploration vessel is suddenly bathed in brilliant light of multi-spectral colors. An unknown rift gleams amid the utter blackness of the deep below...

Transecopia is a dice-drafting/worker-placement hybrid, where players contend for resources without knowing the full extent of each other's intent. It takes calculated risk and a modicum of psychology to assess who you risk facing at each zone, and with what level of commitment. Choose a character, collect resources, access the reality-defying elements birthed by the spacetime rift to upgrade your submarine for the crushing depths of the abyss. Who will win the honor of being first into the Transecopia?

When a subordinate dies in darkness under his command, an agent of the peggon war fleet begins to question the world around him. Can he trust the religious bureaucracy to hear the voice of the Pinnacle? Will he lead his own unit into redemption, or condemn them to the eternal torment of soul death?

A musically rich, fully dramatized cinematic novel that delivers a world of beauty, a perilous fate, and a philosophical maze.
