In those ancient days a few thousand years ago, after the Creation but before the days of Noah when "God saw that wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually" (Genesis 6:5), there were descendants of Seth, the third son of Adam and Eve, who still believed in God and who tried to do right. Many of them were inhabitants of Qiryah-Seth, the most powerful, prosperous city-state of the early earth. It was a time of world-wide mild climate, when men of high intelligence and strength co-existed with dinosaurs. Living many centuries was considered normal. All peoples spoke a common language. Some, such as the Sethites, possessed great knowledge. Others chose to chiefly utilize different natural abilities, such as strength. There were giants - the proud, haughty Nephilites, who dwelt in the city of Qiryah-Nephil, and who traveled as merchants and mercenaries. The lofty ambitions of their ruler, the High Mellek, would prove deadly to many. Against this backdrop occurs the tale of Jared, a young Sethite army officer, and his fellow soldiers as they suffer the terrors of the Nefeer Jungle - huge, fearsome beasts and the legendary Akalbasars - to rescue the plans of the world's most destructive weapon and the woman he loves from the hands of the mighty, arrogant Nephilites.
