Steve: This plant is probably the best at catching vampires. Zack: Vampires are not biodegradable. Steve: Huge piles of them drifting around on the Pacific Ocean. Zack: Sharks choking on vampires they swallowed. Zack: I like how they reference all these other political factions and goings on in the former USA that were covered in previous books. Steve: I mean, they explain it some because there is so much jungle.
This area has reverted to a primitive culture of scavengers and barbarians. There are like ley lines everywhere disrupting stuff. Zack: Yeah, okay, but clearly not disrupting the Coalition from having jet planes and submarines and even aircraft carriers.
I mean, yeah, maybe dinosaurs are just no big deal to them anymore. No time to try to lasso a T-rex. Steve: But who cares?
Because there are barbarians now. And not just regular barbarians. They have multiple types of barbarians. Zack: Looks more like a sasquatch than a barbarian. Zack: Are you calling Native Americans barbarians? Steve: What? I mean, they could be if they wanted, but barbarian is a class, not a race. Like the Internet getting rid of travel agents.
Steve: There are still travel agents. My mom used one to book a trip to Cancun last year. Steve: She got bit really bad by bed bugs and then fell for a handsome grifter who tried to move in with us. My point is barbarian is more like a class not a job. Like upper class, middle class, and lower class. Zack: So where does a barbarian fit in on the income spectrum. Chopping orcs and rescuing hot babes who are very thankful. Zack: Like hobos with an axe instead of a bindle.
Zack: Maybe we hunted the orcs to extinction and the hot babes lost all their gratitude. Steve: Could be. Zack: Also the Flintstones. Zack: Oh, bummer, looks like no Red Sonjas in the sexist Rifts barbarian culture. Steve: I guess someone has to stay at home and take care of the kids. Zack: At least she is allowed to use staplers and pens.
Zack: I feel like once you are using a gun you are no longer a barbarian. Knights can clearly use technology. Barbarians are all about the simpler things in life.
Steve: Fair point, but where do we draw the line? Rifts- Adventure Sourcebook- Mercenary Adventures. Rifts- Black Market. Rifts- Book of Magic. Rifts- Coalition Wars 1 Sedition. Rifts- Coalition Wars 2 Coalition Overkill. Rifts- Coalition Wars 4 Cyber-Knights. Rifts- Conversion Book 3 Dark Conversions. Rifts- Dimension Book 1 Wormwood. Rifts- Dimension Book 2 Phase World. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching.
However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable.
Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background. For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book.
We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive. Original electronic format These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable.
Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality. Here is a sample of a page from a watermarked title:. File Last Updated:. This title was added to our catalog on April 07, Publisher Average Rating. See All Reviews.
