"The world gives birth to a new millennium...
"It is 1999. The Last Days, say some; The First, claim others. The climate is clearly warming, the evening skies are awash in dreamy, multi-coloured lights, and underground cults are preparing for the frenzy of all frenzies -- The Night of the Thousand Years.
"Jack Finnegan, the world's last literary publisher, is dying of AIDS; Trip Marlowe, VR rock star, is dying from too many mind-expanding excursions courtesy of IZE; and Leonard Thrope is coming to town with his wonderful life-restoring elixir.
"Trippy sex, new age revivals and the hottest hallucinogens the imagination can buy -- it must be the time of the Glimmering." [jacket blurb, UK pbk, 1997]
"An ambitious erotically charged thriller." --Clive Barker.
"Ms Hand is a superior stylist." -- (in the New York Times Book Review ).
"A potent socio-erotic story for our looming Millennium... Hand's high-resolution narrative never falters." --William Gibson.
