"I'll tell you the story 'bout the the joker and the thief."

Alternate realities. Interdimensional travel. Strange beings living between the various worlds.
When Philip Neri invented the Transport System to make instantaneous travel to all points of the globe possible, he did not envision any of these things. Neither did he expect that his lifelong friend, Nick Myra, would steal his plans and sell them to the government.
Six years later, at his 40th birthday party, Philip drunkenly decides to unveil his updated version of the TranSys, the TransDev, to his unsuspecting guests....

It is the mid-1990s and Pericles Durham, an ordinary man living an average life, finds himself caught up in an extraordinary conflict: an age old struggle between two secret societies. Though he does not believe in it, Perry finds himself compelled to begin a search for a fabled object. His quest will take him from his suburban life to places that were ancient when America was just a dream, knowing all along that he will either find his destiny or his doom.

It is the mid-1990s and Sigmund Ritter, an evil man who kills for a living, rages through life with no concern for anyone or anything. There is no act too evil, for he does not believe in the distinctions we call "good and evil." That is, until tragedy causes him to question everything he has ever been told.

Can a man act so wickedly that there is no grace that can save him? Or does grace extend itself to even the worst amongst us?

This companion novel to 1997's War of Grace can be read alone or in conjunction with it's counterpart.
