I skjebnens bok finnes alt, alle hendelser, alletider, alt som har vært, som er, som vil komme, altsom kan bli, alt som kunne ha vært.Men hvem skriver den? Hvem fører pennen? Hvemvender hver enkelt av sidene, så mange at de ikke kantelles, mens de blåser i vinden? Skriver den kanskjeseg selv, med en penn som beveger seg av seg selv overde gulnete arkene? Eller er det en hånd som bevegerpennen, en som ikke kan sees, en som strekker segtilbake i fortiden, tilbake til tiden før alt ble til,før tiden selv ble til, og som skaper seg selv avintet? Timothy Joyce er en gåte, en mann uten fortid, somdukker opp fra ingensteds, for så å gå fullstendigamok i en lamslått verden.Jeremy Zahn jakter på Timothy Joyce. Det virker somom han alltid har jaktet på han, fra gamle London, fraenglenes øy, hvor det blir sagt at de møttes forførste gang, til englenes by i California, den nyeverden.Her, på den skjelvende jorden, etterkonfrontasjoner som strekker seg over hele verden itid og sted, vil de to kjempe for siste gang.Og resten av verden ser på, og skjelver i sinefastfrosne hjerter.

Lawrence Watros is an ordinary man doing an ordinary office job. There is nothing exciting about it, nothing exciting at all. Each day is the same. Nothing ever changes. His existence is dominated by routine, by a regiment constantly repeating itself. Larry's life sucks. He certainly thinks so and he has found no one disagreeing with him on that. He has always looked at the patterns of his surroundings, never really making a production of it, but that is his forte, if anything is. Now, with one single event the pattern changes, is disrupted beyond recognition. He meets the girl of his dreams, but she isn't exactly miss congeniality. The first thing she tells him is that he's in danger, in mortal danger. It only grows weirder and more dangerous from there. His life changes irrevocably and it keeps changing from that one, startling event. The mighty river of time is blocked and takes a completely different path. This is an anthology of novellas and short stories and short short stories the author has written the last twenty years. It contains two novellas, four short stories and several short short stories.
She has died a million times...Someone or something is stalking her. Stalking her from one world to the next, from day to night, from night to day. Wherever she walks it is there. Turn one way and it is ahead. Turn another and there it is. In branches moving in the wind. In old houses where every step on the dusty floor brings a creak from the wood. Afterglow is haunted and hunted, no matter where she goes. Janet Kathryn Caldwell is traveling the nine realms, all the nine realms and even beyond, in search of meaning, of anything tangible that might make her life make sense. What she finds is more mystery, more dark corners waiting for her. One revelation opens up nine more closed boxes slapping her in the face, grinning to her like banshees in the night, in the mists and twilights of the world. The nine lands in the nine realms are different, they are the same. Afterglow brushes them like the wind, and sometimes like the storm, making a brief stop, before moving on, leaving ruins in its wake. The Storm is coming. She knows this, beyond knowing, beyond certainty. Dark blades are cutting air, cutting flesh. An army of them is awaiting Afterglow, and she finds revelations, horrors and terrors aplenty, out there, on her way to nowhere. She does not know where she is going, only that she is going there, no matter what it takes, no matter where it may take her. Lightning strikes deep below the ground in Afterglow's path.
Nothing makes sense. Not to Jeremy Zahn, former inspector with the London Metropolitan police, not to Janet Caldwell, lieutenant with the Los Angeles Police Department or to anyone in their circles. They struggle in vain to fathom what's going on, and they're not alone. Timothy Joyce is an enigma, a man without a past, appearing from nowhere, to go on a rampage in an astonished, stunned, baffled and frightened world. Los Angeles is a city on the brink, brought to its knees only a few days and nights after the Chaos-bringer's arrival. The entire world has previously felt his power and the entire world is watching, its people shivering in their shrunken, frozen hearts. Jeremy Zahn doesn't know what will happen. But he knows the end is near, knows that this is the end of the long, exhaustive hunt, the end of the total insanity that has ruled his life the last three years... knows that very soon now everything will finally make sense.
