  Deathlands 137: Rift of the Magi, returns to the circumstances immediately following Deathlands 135: Killville, and depicts the events that led him to his past in Deathlands 136: Trade War. 
   
  After narrowly escaping the devolved prison community of Ispville, the companions make their way on foot for the arduous two hundred mile trek to the ruins of Chicago and the redoubt that holds the nearest known gateway, as winter sets in. This is only the first stage in their journey to the intended refuge of Ryan's home ville of Front Royal, and hopefully a safe haven for the birth of Krysty's child. To make matters worse, they're the reluctant guardians of fellow former prisoners, a mother and three young daughters, none of whom possess the companions' survival skills. Not only that, the voice that only Ryan has been hearing makes its startling presence known to the others, in a shocking turn that will starkly affect everyone. 
   
  Many miles north of them, former companion Ricky Morales and his partner Jo Abernathy are making their treacherous way toward the same destination, hoping to meet up with Ricky's friends. They, too, are guardians of an innocent, in their own way, and will be attempting something with the matter-transfer gateway that, to Ricky's knowledge and with good reason, has never been tried before.

  Ian Stevens, director of the Deep Space Research Institute, isn’t interested in conducting research just for the sake of research. While the rest of the world—including the U.S. government—thinks that’s the DSRI’s sole mission, Stevens is actually interested in more—he wants manned space travel and the colonization of the moon. 
  With NASA defunct, few scientific probes are being launched, and no one even talks about human spaceflight anymore. Stevens is out to change that. A billionaire in his own right, Stevens has assembled a crew of the best scientists and engineers he can find, and the DSRI is secretly building and testing gravity-powered spacecraft. 
  There’s just one problem—the project would be widely condemned worldwide, especially since there’s no government supervision. Everything they do has to be kept out of sight and away from the prying eyes of the NSA, Homeland Security, the IRS, OSHA, and a half-dozen other government agencies. They’ve got the world's smartest computer on their side, but will it be enough? 
  As the government gets ever closer to figuring out what the DSRI is doing, Stevens’ plan to establish a permanent settlement on the Moon nears fruition. The race is on—will the government find out and shut down the project, or will Stevens be able to implement…the Lunar Free State?
