Glen Cook created a fantasy world populated by creatures of myth and quite a few he made up himself. Garrett is a former marine and private investigator that interacts with all of the above on a frequent basis. This time he runs into a doomsday cult who renders themselves sexless and are a vile, evil bunch of fanatics out to end the world. Many twists and turns and a liberal dose of magic in an adventure worth reading. gmb 3-22-20
