Warning!
Violence, War, Magic
&
the Supernatural
The fictional worlds of Rifts®
are violent, deadly and filled with aliens, war and supernatural mon-
sters. Other-dimensional beings often referred to as "demons," torment, stalk and prey on humans. Alien
life forms, monsters, vampires, ghosts, ancient gods and demigods, as well as magic, insanity, psychic
powers and combat are all elements in this book.
All
of it is fiction.
Some parents may find the violence, magic and supernatural elements of the game inappropriate for
young readers/players. We suggest parental discretion.
Please note that none of us at Palladium Books® condone or encourage the occult, the practice of
magic, the use of drugs, or violence.

Dedication from Matthew
To all the Palladium writers, artists and staff who came together to give us
Rifts® Black Market.
This book has grown and evolved
into a huge resource full of incredible ideas and taken on a life of its own. And none of it would be possible without hard work from
many different people. Everyone in the credits has my most sincere appreciation for the benefit of their unique perspective and experi-
ence. Without further ado, it is time for a visit to the wild and diverse criminal underground of Rifts Earth.
-Matthew Clements, 2012
Dedication from Kevin
To
Carmen Bellaire, Carl Gleba, Chuck Walton
and
Mark Dudley,
four friends of ours whose imaginations and energy are a constant
source of inspiration to me.

Kevin Siembieda
The cover,
by
John Macdonnell,
depicts a Black Market Merchant selling weapons and contraband to a pair of mercenaries.
