Remmy, Mallory, Diana and an injured Maggie land on a barren little
island in the middle of the ocean
(Catalina). They find refuge with a mysterious order of monks who begrudgingly
offer them food, shelter
and medical assistance.
Our heroes soon discover the secret of this island and its inhabitants.
In a hidden refuge beneath their
monastery the monks are busy gathering, recording and codifying the
accumulated wisdom of their species.
It is called The Great Work. In doing so they are trying to protect
this wealth of human knowledge and
culture from a marauding faction known as the Volsangs - a Viking-like
race of pillagers who have
conquered this Earth.
When one of monks, Keeper James, betrays the order to the Volsangs the
Sliders become involved in a
feverish attempt to preserve The Great Work. With Volsang boats on
the beach and the raiders at the
gates, can our heroes successfully spirit the work off the island to
a new, safer hiding place?
