The time is the distant future. More than 30,000 years have elapsed since the 4the era in man's history, known as "The Post-Catastrophe Epoch," has begun. Our sacred planet's landscape has changed dramatically and so have the tribes of men. Mutation is widespread amongst the animal and plant species, but also among men. The "new world" is infested with cruelty, sorcery and magic. Power, corruption and savagery rule, the exceptions being few The Baron Scaramander, Overlord of evil on Earth, has made ready his massive armies of Mongolon anthropoids, the Phalanxes of the savage female Mermedons, the mutant throng, the beastly hordes and the thousands of Devil Riders. The evil host will soon pour out of the Dark Lands, pouncing upon the unsuspecting world of man, intending on enslaving it forever. But veiled from the rest of the world, on their mystic isles, the Warriors of Assassin are aware of the plans of evil. For thousands of years the Assassin Masters have been preparing for the epic "Wars of End," as foretold by Seers and Prophets. Strengthened by the intake of "Xhnus-sah," the "Sacred Brew," (a life extending and vision-enhancing drag), these virtuous Warriors of Light and protectors of "The Way," are the only power on Earth capable of resisting the forces of Darkness. Their leader Alexander Fabius Han Yakatu, the Immortal Assassin Master, is an enlightened man whose physical and spiritual abilities are unsurpassed by any other. The Master knows that a Messiah-warrior, bearer of "The Sword of Fire," will descend from The One Absolute, yet be born of Earth. The Avatara man-god will be the only one capable of uniting the forces of humanity, and in league with the Assassin Legions, of whom he will become the liege, will stand in the way of evil. "And he shall be born 'Gorga of Arrgonn', yet he is destined to become 'Gorga Lord of Assassin'. And the irreverent enemies of man and God will keep scattering at the mere sound of his name, dread and dismay seizing their spiritless bodies," so it has been written in the Assassin Prophesies of old. When Gorga is born in the village of Khedaras, in the "Lands of Snow," evil will unleash its barbaric agents to murder the child. But the Immortal Master has other plans. He will travel to the northern snow-lands and disguised as a frail old man, will become the teacher, friend, and protector of the child. Fourteen years later, 200 Kopt savages will attack Gorga's village, killing every living creature in it, murdering his father and abducting Massaala, his mother. On that day, Gorga will turn into a merciless warrior of vengeance. And all hell will break loose, as his hand will become the hand of death. And one by one the murderers of his people will be cut down. In their pursuit of the Kopts, Gorga and Yakatu will confront Sartannah, Scaramander's Prime Sorceress, the mighty Mongolons and the "Dark Angels," the two ruthless bodyguards and lovers of Sartannah, Commanders of the fearsome Mermedons. Unbeknown to all but Scaramander and Sartannah, Aakiko and Mei-Mei are in reality two Assassin girls, who were abducted from their homeland when mere babies, then nurtured by the Overlord of evil to be his obedient servants. The epic adventure continues, as the Sorceress, the remnants of her entourage, and the enslaved Massaala, leave the Land of Kopt on board their black ship. But Gorga is determined to follow his enemies to the end of the seas and beyond. The pursuit will take the hero to new deadly adventures, eventually bringing him face to face with The Scaramander. I, Nimrod Jared Cain, High Shepherd and Rabbi, elected leader, Scribe and Keeper of the Official Records of my tribe of 111 "Detachables" (whose fate I have recorded in a testimony I appropriately named "The Book Of Hope"), I have the privilege to bear witness of the high-times and adventures of our lord and master the Messiah, Gorga Liege of Assassin, the greatest of heroes among men.

"THE DOOR" narrates the thought voyages of a man. The hero feels an irresistible urge to journey through the inner pathways of his consciousness in an effort to find answers to the endless questions that torture his mind. He firmly believes that somewhere within the Universe exists a secret Door behind which lie the answers to all mysteries. By finding The Door he hopes to discover his true origins and the reasons that explain mankind's existence. The protagonist agonises to find what lies behind the illusions of earthly life. He struggles to lift the countless veils that disguise a perpetually relative reality. But the answers are hard to find, The Truth an evasive phantom, the final destination painfully elusive. Throughout this wondrous journey our hero is accompanied by "The Voice" a "counsellor" who persists in offering him advice, fractions of Ancient Wisdom. This advice the pilgrim often finds contemptible unwelcome and therefore easy to reject. And so the search for The Door continues.
