Description

The stunning fantasy adventure begun in Walker of Worlds and The End-of-Everything Man reaches its spectacular conclusion! The Epicene has been destroyed and its creator defeated. Snatched from the battlefield by the shadowy Gray Men, Jack, the King's Tramp, and his companions from Earth find themselves in a strange and treacherous labyrinth outside time. Here, in the Undermoment, the Gray Men have labored for millennia to tear down the fabrics separating the three human worlds and create a show more Utopia. However, there is an intruder among them who secretly plans to destroy the universe and everyone within it. When the awful truth is revealed, Jack finds his sword, his magic, and his knack for happy coincidences all useless, for in this final battle his nemesis is the Last Human: the Queen of Noise, whose every shriek brings chaos and death. Praise for Walker of Worlds and The End-of-Everything Man "Highly recommended . . . some bit of fascinating weirdness seems to lurk around every corner."--San Francisco Chronicle "If what you really hope for is intelligent, lively contemporary fantasy, with a 120-proof story and quirky characters . . . this guy's visions are worth putting into your head."--Orson Scott Card "I haven't been this excited about a new fantasy series in years. De Haven's pushing the boundaries of fantasy and horror."--Locus show less
