"There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are
dreamt of in your philosophy." - Hamlet (Act 1, Scene 5). A naive
angel and amoral demon discover the truth of Shakespeare's words,
when a wager between God and the Devil lands them on Earth. In the
guise of Las Vegas private eyes "Gabe Horn" and "Lou Cypher," the
archangel Gabriel and trickster demon Lucifer embark on personal
quests of their own in search of their humanity. Their personal
journey is also a physical one, spanning both time and dimensions,
through the centuries to Camelot and 17th century Salem, exploring
the seven Heavens, the nine levels of Hell, the Dark Dimension of
the ancient Dark Gods, Thenesia - an ancient land of swords and
sorcery, the somnolent realm of the Dreamscape, and the eerie
emptiness of Limbo. Beneath the prosaic veneer of urban life,
mortal humans live in blissful ignorance alongside preternatural
and supernatural creatures: warlocks and witches, vampires,
werewolves, the Fae, kitsune, and creatures whispered of in myths
of African, Irish, and Japanese cultures. Seers gaze at the Sands
of Time as the golden grains tumble through the mystical hourglass,
seeking to divine what the Fates have woven. Through these
memorable characters and exotic settings, the author explores the
nature of good and evil, free will versus predetermination, man's
inhumanity to man, universal versus moral relativism, nature versus
nurture, loss of innocence, coming of age, death, love and
friendship, the quest for power, individualism, sacrifice, and
faith versus doubt, among other literary themes. This Omnibus
Edition collects all four volumes in the Halos & Horns fantasy
saga, replete with new illustrations; the "Guide to the Halos &
Horns Multiverse" detailing each character, place, and object;
previously unpublished essays by the author; and the novelette The
Pandora Chronicles, a preview of the forthcoming spin-off, Fangs
& Fur.
