About the Book
Tycho Caine is a man with a mission. He's sure of that. But, waking up
in a body bag with amnesia, he's not sure of much else. Except that
someone wants him dead...
The time is the near future. The place is Phoenix,
Arizona. The streets are roofed over with giant solar power panels
called "Frozen Shade" by the street people. Giant corporate fortresses
dot the landscape. A privileged few enjoy pampered luxury, while a vast
under-class suffers. Behind it all, unspeakable abominations carry out
a convoluted, centuries-old plan of invasion and conquest.
Caine's search for his identity and his mission uncovers
an invasion from another dimension, an invasion so subtle, so covert,
that most of the world has not even noticed. The invaders are the stuff
of nightmares — every "mythical" monster is only a pale, dimly viewed
reflection of their unimaginable reality. Worst of all, Caine discovers
that he may be one of the dark minions of A GATHERING EVIL.
