Wizard scouts are a mix of technology and magic-like abilities. For the past several hundred years, they have been the elite, deep-recon forces of the Intergalactic Empire. But what if a group of wizard scouts suddenly found themselves in a strange environment without their technology? What if those same wizard scouts faced enemies more powerful than anything the Empire had ever encountered?

The lives of millions of innocents hang in the balance as Wizard Scout Richard Shepard and his friends try to find out the answers to those questions the hard way. If they succeed, neither they nor the Empire will ever be the same again.
