Or is it?
Laura finds herself enmeshed in an ancient conflict between the secretive keepers of the panacea and a more deadly secret group known only as 536, a brotherhood that vows to destroy the panacea and anyone who knows of its existence.
A reclusive, terminally ill billionaire hires Laura to find it. Rick Hayden, a shadowy mercenary, has to keep her alive as they race from continent to continent to find the legendary panacea before the agents of 536 can destroy it.
[also the stand-alone #2 of the Adversary Cycle]
Nightworld brings F. Paul Wilson’s Adversary Cycle and Repairman Jack saga to an apocalyptic finale as Jack and Glaeken search the Secret History to gather a ragtag army for a last stand against the Otherness and a hideously transformed Rasalom.
And in the middle of all this, the mysterious Madame de Medici hires him to safeguard a valuable object. Simple, right?
Not even close.
Yep, Jack is back and, as usual, weird trouble is on his heels.
