Bound by his promise to Glaeken, Jack has refrained from making any direct moves against Rasalom.   But things have changed so there's nothing holding Jack in check any longer.   Other changes are occurring as well.   Jack is healing at an accelerated rate--much like Glaeken did when he was immortal. This can only mean that Glaeken's time is almost up and when he dies, Jack takes his place.   Rasalom continues to plot against the Lady.   Twice she has died and returned; a third time and she will be gone, leaving a clear path for the Otherness to infiltrate this reality.   But Ernst Drexler, formerly Rasalom's go-to guy for logistical support, fears he will be left out in the cold when the Change comes. He forms an uneasy alliance with Jack, who is preparing to face their old enemy.     Meanwhile, Dawn Pickering is searching for her supposedly dead baby.   The trail leads her to a mansion in a remote Long Island coastal town, where she discovers a truth she could have never imagined.   Now the stage is set for Jack's massive assault on Rasalom.   Jack knows he's got just one shot.   But it's not just a matter of taking out Rasalom: he also must safely retrieve Dawn's child and minimize collateral damage.   So, he comes up with a foolproof plan.   But fools are always with us….

The fourfold sting of the eye teeth balanced the gut-wretchedness of his looming hangover, so that Spar's mind floated as free as his body in the blackness of Windrush, in which shone only a couple of running lights dim as churning dream-glow and infinitely distant as the Bridge or the Stern.

Hugo and Nebula award-winning Fritz Lieber is a science-fiction grand master with an unparalleled ability to discern the stranger side of the universe. The Green Millennium is set in a futuristic human society based on our own. The regimented, regulated and bureaucratized lifestyle led by the misanthropic Phil Gish leaves him feeling vaguely dissatisfied and emotionally cut off from other people. He is surprised when a pure green cat appears in his room, a cat who makes him feel happier and more alive than he has ever felt. Phil decides to call the cat Lucky, hoping his life will take a turn for the better. If you consider different as change for the better, then Gish really has got something in Lucky -- something that everyone else wants -- including the Mob, the FBI, some nude aliens, and a gorgeous mystery woman. When Lucky seems to vanish into thin air, Phil will do anything to get him back, even if it means challenging the very powers that rule his world.
