Some poet once said, "There is beauty in destruction too." That certainly is true of the atom-bomb, and of the desolation it leaves behind. The beautiful mushroom cloud that slowly climbs into the air, leaving death and horror in its wake, and yet against the sunset... it is awe-inspiring. Every great drama has its cast of characters that bring life and pique interest in the unfolding plot.

Some poet once said, "There is beauty in destruction too." That certainly is true of the atom-bomb, and of the desolation it leaves behind. The beautiful mushroom cloud that slowly climbs into the air, leaving death and horror in its wake, and yet against the sunset... it is awe-inspiring. Every great drama has its cast of characters that bring life and pique interest in the unfolding plot. The final and tragic members of the cast that used Estasia as a stage were just as mysterious, and just as difficult to penetrate as the baffling island once was, but is no more. Each one of them had led "legendary" lives, but little could they know that a small and eery island on the cusp of the continental shelf would bring them together for the climax of their individual stories, and no one could be assured of survival. Ultimately, this is a story of power-it pursuits, abuses, and potentialities for destruction. Nothing could compare to its seductive lure, and in their drive to control it, these small men of envy and ambition, stupefied by the tyrannical might they exerted over their own followers, threatened to unleash the maximum expression of power toward catastrophic ends... and finally did so in the name of vengeance. It is important, therefore, to learn about and understand the personal histories of each one of these villains making up the "gallery of rogues" before we delve into the details of events, which occurred during those final, fateful days when destiny revealed its purpose over the hills... on the Island of Estasia. Estasia? What was this strange place that only gangsters and government agents once knew about, and in secrecy swore never to reveal? In fact, it was little more than a small island shrouded in mystery.
