Publisher’s description
Continuing our special tie-in tales with Sega's mega-successful "Sonic Adventure" Dreamcast Game! "City Of Dreams": The mysteries of the Hidden City of The Ancients continue to obsess our heroes: Are the citizens of this pocket environment hostile or friendly? Could they be the answer to Planet Mobius' secret origin? Will Sonic and the others from Knothole Village be ambassadors of peace or will they be forced to mobilize for conflict? Also: "All You Need Is A Bit Of Chaos" (by Penders, Butler, & Eklund): In pursuit of the evil Dr. Robotnik (who stole shards of the Master Emerald), Knuckles follows him deep into the mysterious Cat Country where he finds the Mystic Ruins. Time is running out as the grounded Floating Island has been invaded by the Cat People! Plus: "A Rose By Any Other Name" (by Chris Allan & Harvey Mercadoocasio): In this solo story, Amy Rose gets used to her new body and... her new powers?!
