I THE STORY OF ATLAS PATHFINDER I
===============================================
Orphaned at the age of twelve when his father, the brave captain of a
merchant ship, was lost at sea along with his entire crew, Atlas grew up
in the impoverished seaside shanties and wharves of Sydney harbor. His
skills as a navigator came by instinct. He combined a thirst for explo-
ring the world with a lust for riches and power. Never shall his children
(if he gets around to having any) experience the deprivation and poverty
of his own youth. He vowed to conquer the storms that destroyed his
father, and build an empire of commerce which will overshadow even the
greatest trading houses of all Europe.
You, are Atlas PathFinder. In Canton, the commercial hub linking East and
West, you now set out to make your fortune with your life's savings, a
modest sum of gold coins. Beyond these gilded gates, the riches of the
Orient awaits you in a vast world of unexplored dangers and endless
possibilities.
