Sandman Slim returns in this stunning, high-octane ninth thriller in the
series, filled with the intense, kick-ass action and inventive fantasy
that are the hallmarks of New York Times bestselling author Richard
Kadrey.
Sandman Slim has been to Heaven and Hell and many places in between, but
now he finds himself in an unknown land: the far, far edge of the
Tenebrae, the desolate home of the lost dead. Making his way inland with
nothing but his unerring instinct for trouble to guide him, he collides
with a caravan of the damned on a mysterious crusade, led by the
ruthless Magistrate. Alone and with no clue how to get back home, he
throws in with this brutal bunch made up of human souls, Hellion
deserters, rogue angels--and Father Traven.
Slim didn't land in Tenebrae by chance. His little stunt of trying to
open Heaven has set off a tsunami across the universe. Now, the
afterlife is falling apart because of the ensuing warfare. And when
Heaven finds out Slim is close by, the angels put a fat bounty on his
head.
It's one thing to ride with a ferocious criminal pack across the
treacherous plains--it's another to do it when everyone in the land of
the dead is itching to keep you there permanently. But Slim's not too
worried. He's been fighting cosmic forces bent on destroying Heaven,
Hell, Earth, and him for years. A pack of vicious bounty hunters,
vengeful angels, and dangerous enemies with friendly smiles isn't going
to stop him fixing the chaos he's caused . . . one way or another.
