Summary
AND THEN THERE'S CAINE'S LAW.
From the moment Caine first appeared in the pages of
Heroes Die, two things were clear. First, that Matthew
Stover was one of the most gifted fantasy writers of his
generation. And second, that Caine was a hero whose peers go by
such names as Conan and Elric. Like them, Caine was something
new: a civilized man who embraced savagery, an actor whose life
was a lie, a force of destruction so potent that even gods
thought twice about crossing him. Now Stover brings back his
greatest creation for his most stunning performance yet.
Caine is washed up and hung out to dry, a crippled husk
kept isolated and restrained by the studio that exploited him.
Now they have dragged him back for one last deal. But Caine has
other plans. Those plans take him back to Overworld, the
alternate reality where gods are real and magic is the ultimate
weapon. There, in a violent odyssey through time and space,
Caine will face the demons of his past, find true love, and
just possibly destroy the universe.
Hey, it's a crappy job, but somebody's got to do
it.
