America faces a new culture war. It is not a war about guns, abortions, or gays; rather it is a war against the creeping changes to our entrepreneurial culture, the true bedrock of who we are as a people. The new culture war is a battle between free enterprise and social democracy. Many Americans have forgotten the evils of socialism and the predations of the American Great Society's welfare-state programs.

Les Premiers-Nés – la mystérieuse espèce extraterrestre, déjà connue par les fans de science-fiction pour avoir édifié le monolithe noir de 2001 : l'Odyssée de l'espace – ont hanté l'œuvre de Sir Arthur C. Clarke, monstre sacré de la SF, pendant des décennies. Avec L'Œil du Temps et Tempête solaire, les deux premiers volumes de la trilogie de L'Odyssée du Temps, Clarke et Stephen Baxter ont imaginé un futur proche dans lequel les Premiers-Nés tentent d'arrêter l'avancée de la civilisation humaine en employant une technologie indiscernable de la magie.

Slayton Turner, ex-NFL player and manager of The Corporation Kensington swore he’d never want anything or anyone again. Until he heard her sing. Aspiring singer, Willow James, is all about building her career, so an invitation to perform at a Christmas party where a notable music executive will also be in attendance, is a dream come true.

There is a persistent and incorrect idea, reinforced by countless film misrepresentations, that Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson were always staid and dull British chaps of middle years (or older), with Holmes a spry, cranky, and impatient eccentric, and Watson a white-haired and portly Boobus Brittanicus, a la Nigel Bruce. Students of the true and Canonical Sherlock Holmes know this to be a falsehood. When we first meet them on January 1, 1881, Holmes is still 26 years old (although he will turn 27 in just a few days), and Watson, already a wounded war veteran, is only 28.

The Hell Realms endure and humanity's extinction appears to be a forgone conclusion...unless Johnny the Salesman has something to say about it.

The book foreshadows how the past continues to reflect in the present and the unfortunate decay of the justice system - especially as it affects African Americans.
