About The Book Two stories converge through the actions of Ulek, a novice necromancer, who must become a sanctioned member of The Order of the Dark Arts, or else be considered, by the order, an outlaw in possession of sacred knowledge, and to be hunted down and killed by a demon which is a creation of the Order.

About The Book Two stories converge through the actions of Ulek, a novice necromancer, who must become a sanctioned member of The Order of the Dark Arts, or else be considered, by the order, an outlaw in possession of sacred knowledge, and to be hunted down and killed by a demon which is a creation of the Order. In the paralleling story, a hitman suffers injury on his way to fulfilling his contract with a secret Government cadre and is nursed back to health by the very man he was sent to kill. During his recovery, he comes to admire the man (his target) and to question his own worth as a human being, and the world which shaped him as he is. The two stories, separated by thousands of years, converge through the actions of the novice necromancer, who is trying to avoid a supernatural creature sent to kill him. On top of a six thousand feet high mesa common to both stories by their age, the two parties converge while both are caught in a battle for their survival. About The Author: T H O M A S J A M E S T A Y L O R, born Dec 1st, 1954. Author of eleven previous novels and short story collections. First published in the middle 1980s and written on subject matter ranging through real life, the bizarre and unusual, crime/romance, philosophy, and more recently, a first foray into sci-fi. The winner of the Pacific Book Award Star of Exceptional Merit with For Your Pleasure & Questionable Behaviour, Taylor consistently earns high praise from book reviewers while continuing to surprise, interest, and fascinate with unusual material in the novel and short story format.
