Description
In a strange and chaotic future the head of the Morning Star Cartel is in trouble. He sold his soul 1700 years ago and now it is time to pay back. An option clause in the faustian pact allows him a way out but it means death for a number of allies.Tags

This is one of my favorites. I re-read it at least once a year and get something different out of it each time. An assassin possessed by the people he's murdered sets out on a futuristic quest for the Holy Grail, facing his fate. Beautiful world building, complex characters and a compelling plot.
Not my cup of tea! Nothing seemed very real to me, at all: stilted, overdrawn.
