The conclusion to the Void Trilogy, started with The Dreaming Void and followed up by The Temporal Void. Millions of Leaving Dream pilgrims are on board their ships, heading into the Void. There they expect to live perfect lives in a perfectable world, but the cost of this perfection could not be greater. Among those who will do anything to prevent the pilgrims entering the Void is the recluse Ozzie; Gore Burnelli, the oldest and most influential human being alive; the Delivery Man, a one-time faction agent with devastating firepower at his disposal; and the legendary Paula Myo, the Commonwealths ruthless, unstoppable field operative.

Who wants to inherit a run-down beach cafe hundreds of miles from home?

A startling encounter on a New York subway platform leads two strangers to a run-down tenement where a life or death decision must be made. In that small apartment, 'Black' and 'White', as the two men are known, begin a conversation that leads each back through his own history - mining the origins of two diametrically opposing world views, they begin a dialectic redolent of the best of Beckett. White is a professor whose seemingly enviable existence of relative ease has left him nonetheless in despair. Black, an ex-con and ex-addict, is the more hopeful of the men - though he is just as desperate to convince White of the power of faith as White is to deny it. Their aim is no less than this: to discover the meaning of life. Deft, spare, and full of artful tension, THE SUNSET LIMITED is a beautifully crafted, consistently thought-provoking, and deeply intimate work by one of the most insightful writers of our time.
