However, unlike Zulus, it is impossible to read The Bedford as though it were an actual story. Page one starts off with…

Golding also shows that, eventually, without authority, the mind will be taken over by the…

The Adelburgers were a closely guarded secret the high ranking members who made up RGA high command. What was even more peculiar about this unofficial policy of denying the existence of the Adelburgers and their FVL allies was Walther Schäffer’s second-in-command: the brilliant, yet shady Gerhard Voss.
