Palladium Books, founded in southeast Michigan, claims to be the first to implement a role-playing system intended to work for all genres and to introduce the perfect-bound trade paperback format to the RPG industry.
Some of the role-playing games Siembieda helped produce include Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness (1985), Robotech RPG (1986), After The Bomb (1986), and Rifts (1990).
Siembieda is also an artist, best known for occasionally illustrating Palladium Books' products.

Oddly, I think this is one of the more unique published adventures in the Rifts universe - and it's from such an early date.
I think to truly capture the feel of the ultimate ending/climactic battle, getting a rather large group to suit up in power armor and mechs is a necessity. And...not many people do that, from my experience.
Either way, great book - and a fun tie in to a much older Siembieda idea! :)

Even though the Palladium role-playing system is not the one I use in my games the source books are fantastic. Tons of great ideas and characters are scattered throughout the books. Very recommended for any gamer.

Cyborg terror for Rifts and Megaverse in general.
