During that time he carved out a star empire of his own. Now the Power has returned-the Power that fuels the immortality and astounding abilities of the gods-and Lucian has resolved to cast aside his ties to humanity, end his exile and make his way back to his beloved celestial city. But what he finds when he arrives there is not what he expected: Mysterious beings all in black roam the cosmic pathways, most of the gods have somehow vanished, and those who remain look upon him with unadulterated suspicion and hate. Now he must clear his own name and find the true culprit even as his brother and sister gods do everything in their power to capture and destroy him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo one ever said it was easy to be the god of evil...\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLUCIAN: DARK GOD'S HOMECOMING\u003c\/strong\u003e combines exciting SF\/Fantasy adventure with a puzzling murder mystery whodunit in the grand tradition of \u003cstrong\u003eRoger Zelazny's AMBER\u003c\/strong\u003e series and Jack Vance's \u003cstrong\u003eDYING EARTH\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Van Allen Plexico\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1962993035\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781962993036\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e White Rocket Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.88d","brand":"Van Allen Plexico","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47203070705919,"sku":"9781962993036","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_49193c85-ffd4-4f23-89e0-fa91d8d10bc7.jpg?v=1756834244","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lucian-van-allen-plexico-9781962993036","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
