Avenging Fury (Fury and the Terror)

Eden Waring is an Avatar, possessing astounding psychic abilities . . . and destined to fight an ancient evil. Her battles against Mordaunt, the ageless Dark Side of God, have been many, but the war is far from over. She destroyed Mordaunt's human body in the deserts of Las Vegas, but his many followers still walk the Earth. They vow to resurrect their Master and exact vengeance upon Eden in a melee of magic and violence. As Eden fights for her life, her doppelganger, Gwen, separates from Eden to fight the battle on another front. In another dimension, the other half of Mordaunt’s soul hides within a man living in Jubilation County, Georgia – in the year 1926. To keep Mordaunt powerless, Gwen must travel back in time, but finds that awaiting her arrival is a vicious entity known as Delilah. The epic story that began with The Fury reaches its electrifying conclusion, as unsuspecting worlds merge on the cusp of an age of darkness--a force only one woman, across a vast span of time and space, can stop.

From Publishers Weekly

In this fourth and final volume in the series that began with The Fury (1976), Eden Waring, now recognized as the benevolent Avatar, imprisons Mordaunt, the malignant Deus Inversus, in a flood of molten glass. Though his physical form is ruined, Mordaunt's immortal consciousness is still at large, as is his female side, Delilah, who takes possession of Eden's time-traveling doppelgänger, Gwen, and uses her body to hitchhike back to the present. The stage is set for a showdown between Eden and Gwen on the outskirts of Las Vegas in a flamboyant finale that features earthshaking scenes of the two zapping each other with bolts of the Dark Energy of the Universe. A bursting cornucopia of horror, fantasy, suspense and science fiction set pieces, the novel is so relentlessly paced that it's easy to overlook its wobbly logic. Farris's legion of fans will find it an exhilarating end to this enormously entertaining supernatural saga. (May) Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
