Description
"There are certain shibboleths to our condition."At the end of the first book of The Twelve-Fingered Boy Trilogy, Jack and Shreve are incarcerado--physically locked up. Shreve's back in the custody of the state of Arkansas, and Jack's somewhere in the clutches of Mr. Quincrux--both problems Shreve aims to rectify.Cages might hold Shreve's body, but the power that's been growing since his encounter with Quincrux has reached a pinnacle. Nothing can prevent his mind from scaling the etheric heights. Freed from his body, Shreve discovers the magnitude of the evil that's stirring in the east. The wave of insomnia that's paralyzed the nation is only the beginning.To save Jack--and maybe all of the humanity he no longer feels part of--Shreve has no choice but to join Quincrux and the Society of Extranaturals.
