Welcome those of you from the Old World. Welcome to the New.

Mankind's most reluctant hero - Thomas Cale - is back.

Cale is through running from his enemies. He's survived the Sanctuary attempts to kill him. He's survived being betrayed by his greatest love. He's survived heaven, hell and everything in between.

But then he stumbles into the kind of world events that not even a mercenary as wily as Cale can escape. Because, as the poets say, where Thomas Cale goes a funeral surely follows.

The fate of humankind rests on Cale's decision.
