Reading through the mass of mail, he finds clues to an alternative reality, the laws of which are called "the Art." Mastering these principles, he becomes powerful but evil, and presses into service a man named Fletcher, who synthesizes a transforming drug, the Nuncio. Later understanding the corrupting nature of his creation, Fletcher rebels against Jaffe, and the two, now demigods, engage in a cosmic struggle. In the little town of Palomo Grove, two great armies are amassing; forces shaped from the hearts and souls of America. 942597 book 1989 The Great and Secret Show total:2364|5:805|4:842|3:566|2:113|1:38| 2364 9355 2892 110 5 2 false false Fri Mar 14 08:42:17 -0700 2008 Fri Mar 21 07:51:04 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false true Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Thu Feb 14 01:48:02 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 14 12:38:12 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1999 Mon Apr 13 13:31:50 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 13 13:32:21 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1995 Thu Feb 07 21:17:15 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 07 21:22:47 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Wed Jan 30 20:58:54 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 31 11:47:22 -0800 2008
