Before he was in a band in Ellay, Gregorio Rivas was a redeemer, rescuing lost souls trapped in the Jaybirds cult of the powerful maniac Norton Jaybush. Rivas had hoped those days were behind him, but a desperate entreaty from a powerful official is pulling him back into the game. The rewards will be plentiful if he can wrest Urania, the official&rsquo;s daughter and Gregorio&rsquo;s first love, from Jaybush&rsquo;s sinister clutches. To do so, the redeemer reborn must face blood-sucking hemogoblins and other monstrosities on his way to discovering the ultimate secrets of this neo-Californian civilization.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> One of the most ingeniously imaginative writers of our time, Tim Powers dazzles in an early work that displays his unique creative genius, earning him a nomination for the Nebula Award. Alive with wit, intelligence, and wild invention, <I>Dinner at Deviant&rsquo;s Palace</I> is a mad adventure across a dystopian future as only Tim Powers could have imagined it.<BR /><BR /> This ebook features an original introduction by the author.<BR /> &#160;</DIV></DIV>
