The Golden age of the Olympians raises Hermes and our other heroes to the status of Gods, worshipped in Northern Mediterranean temples. A new threat emerges - The Sea People. Like an irresistible wave they conquer country after country, joining all in an aggressive new alliance and sweeping the shores from West to East. At times like this, Olympian Heroics are just what the world needs, but where are the Olympians? Almost completely deserted, Hermes cannot hope to succeed against such a formidable enemy alone. He is left with no choice but to heed warnings and prophecies which send him southward to Egypt. Finding family and friends in this strange and foreign land seems impossible, especially when facing enemies, old and new. Hermes can only hope that with his new-found Egyptian friends and their fading powers, they will prevail when the rest of the world can only fail.
