Climate change, rampant viruses, blackouts, fundamentalists-the end of the end has arrived. Glimmering, the 1994 dystopian novel by Nebula and World Fantasy Award-winning author Elizabeth Hand, is now timelier than ever.
When the confluence of a solar storm and the collapse of the Antarctic ice shelf ignites the atmosphere like grease, those who are able hide behind their walls and masks, seeking the promise of a seductive-and dangerous-future. As the earth erupts in flames, department store heir and editor Jack Finnegan faces his own inevitable death from AIDS in his family's decrepit mansion near the Hudson River-that is, until an old friend offers him a miraculous cure...
Christian singer Trip Marlowe has found worldwide success, but the dynamic rock star retains his strict morality and faith. Temptation comes in the form of a mysterious blond waif and IZE, a new drug more addictive than crack and heroin...
The two men will find themselves on a bizarre collision course as a dark and powerful force seeks to shape what's left of humanity's consciousness.
"A brutal vision of Apocalypse... Hand's powerful vision of these days of wrath is not so much a protracted self-pitying whisper as a Nietzschean insistence on salvation through creative evolution." - Publishers Weekly, starred review
"[A] wild, psychedelic, thoughtful thriller... Another dynamite read!" - The Des Moines Register
