Tento autor, formovaný bouřlivým obdobím amerických dějin, se vyvinul v mistra sociální satiry. Jeho díla ostře odhalují pokrytectví a prázdnotu, s citem pro jemné nuance lidského chování. Po úspěšných románech zaměřených na gay komunitu se pustil do rozmanitých tvůrčích projektů, od komiksů po vystupování na jevišti. Nyní se vrací k psaní beletrie s novým pohledem, inspirován klasiky napětí, a zároveň oživuje svá raná díla pro nové generace.
Do sluneční soustavy vtrhlo Ego, živoucí planeta, a způsobilo na Zemi bouře dosud nevídaných rozměrů, jež planetu málem roztrhaly na kusy. Co má ale jeho přílet společného s kosmickou bytostí zvanou Sběratel? Na to musí Thor, bůh hromu, přijít dřív, než bude Země zdánlivě nezastavitelným Egem zcela zničena.
