Caine's Law

SOME LAWS YOU BREAK. SOME BREAK YOU.AND THEN THERE'S CAINE'S LAW.From the moment Caine first appeared in the pages of Heroes Die,
two things were clear. First, that Matthew Stover was one of the most
gifted fantasy writers of his generation. And second, that Caine was a
hero whose peers go by such names as Conan and Elric. Like them, Caine
was something new: a civilized man who embraced savagery, an actor whose
life was a lie, a force of destruction so potent that even gods thought
twice about crossing him. Now Stover brings back his greatest creation
for his most stunning performance yet.Caine is washed up and
hung out to dry, a crippled husk kept isolated and restrained by the
studio that exploited him. Now they have dragged him back for one last
deal. But Caine has other plans. Those plans take him back to Overworld,
the alternate reality where gods are real and magic is the ultimate
weapon. There, in a violent odyssey through time and space, Caine will
face the demons of his past, find true love, and just possibly destroy
the universe. Hey, it's a crappy job, but somebody's got to do it.
