About

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.
