The strange and incredible collection of objects . . . In 1928, Federal agents raided the lodge of the Esoteric Order of Dagon, a notorious cult that had taken over the town of Innsmouth, Massachusetts. What they discovered there shocked and dismayed them in equal measure. Strange, curious, and devilish items from all over the world had been gathered by cult members on voyages across all the known and unknown seas. Priceless art, books, weaponry, jewelry, nautical instruments, and coins were all found, along with objects both prosaic and uncanny, with uses that could only be guessed at.

The world is quickly becoming a frightening place. The growing threat of terrorism and weapons of mass destruction is widespread. Pandemics and emerging diseases loom. The dollar is devalued and foreign markets are looking for new global currency. Nanotechnology, biotechnology and related fields of emerging science hold promise of hope and peril. Philosophy is expanding to include transhuman dreams of redefining what it means to be human.
