Book Description

September 29, 2009
Eden Waring is an Avatar, possessing astounding psychic abilities . . . and destined to fight an ancient evil. Her battles against Mordaunt, the ageless Dark Side of God, have been many, but the war is far from over. She destroyed Mordaunt's human body in the deserts of Las Vegas, but his many followers still walk the Earth. They vow to resurrect their Master and exact vengeance upon Eden in a melee of magic and violence. 
 
As Eden fights for her life, her doppelganger, Gwen, separates from Eden to fight the battle on another front. In another dimension, the other half of Mordaunt’s soul hides within a man living in Jubilation County, Georgia – in the year 1926. To keep Mordaunt powerless, Gwen must travel back in time, but finds that awaiting her arrival is a vicious entity known as Delilah.
 
The epic story that began with The Fury reaches its electrifying conclusion, as unsuspecting worlds merge on the cusp of an age of darkness--a force only one woman, across a vast span of time and space, can stop.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

In this fourth and final volume in the series that began with The Fury (1976), Eden Waring, now recognized as the benevolent Avatar, imprisons Mordaunt, the malignant Deus Inversus, in a flood of molten glass. Though his physical form is ruined, Mordaunt's immortal consciousness is still at large, as is his female side, Delilah, who takes possession of Eden's time-traveling doppelgänger, Gwen, and uses her body to hitchhike back to the present. The stage is set for a showdown between Eden and Gwen on the outskirts of Las Vegas in a flamboyant finale that features earthshaking scenes of the two zapping each other with bolts of the Dark Energy of the Universe. A bursting cornucopia of horror, fantasy, suspense and science fiction set pieces, the novel is so relentlessly paced that it's easy to overlook its wobbly logic. Farris's legion of fans will find it an exhilarating end to this enormously entertaining supernatural saga. (May)

5.0 out of 5 stars strong horror suspense thriller, May 13, 2008
Although mortals see her as a freak even when she saves their lives and has the FBI psychopath assassins after her, Eden Waring proves time after time she is a caring Avatar; she uses her mental skills to keep people safe. Her recent efforts brought her into war against Mordaunt the evil one from another plane, who thought he could manipulate the twenty-something female as his pawn to bring chaos to this realm. He thought wrong as Eden defeated him and incarcerated his physical form inside molten glass (see THE FURY AND THE POWER).

However, Eden makes one key mistake caused by her inexperience as an avatar fighting non-human malevolencies. Part of Mordaunt's soul escaped the imprisonment just prior to the glass melting. Thus his female persona Delilah is not just out there; she goes to 1926 Georgia waiting to possess Eden's doppelganger Gwen when the latter arrives. Near Vegas just after the Mordant meltdown, in Eden's present, Delilah inside Gwen confronts the kindhearted Avatar with both using Dark Energy that will change the Universe.

The final "Fury" tale may have taken three decades to arrive, but fans will fully appreciate this strong horror suspense thriller as the climatic good vs. evil showdown occurs. The story line is hyper fast-paced from the onset and never takes a breather even when Gwen goes back in time as John Farris accelerates the velocity of his plot. Fans of the saga will appreciate the invigorating finish to an exhilarating epic quartet.

3.0 out of 5 stars Had to check it out...., January 24, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Avenging Fury (Mass Market Paperback)
Actually I had to purchase book #1 and #4 to read the series because someone gave me #2 and #3. In the reviews given by other writers like Stephen King, John Farris was one of the best new thriller writers...keep you on edge of your seat type. Well, I do like Stephen King though he does write in circles sometimes........John Farris is so much worse that you don't truly get into what the book is about until it's almost over. Sad thing is all 4 books in this series are written the same way, though I do have to say that book #4 was the easiest to read.

It's not a writer or series I would really recommend purchasing but if your local library has them, it would be worth checking out.

Yes, I wrote the same review for book #1.

5.0 out of 5 stars Now THAT"S the way to write a thriller, August 18, 2011
This review is from: Avenging Fury (Kindle Edition)
John Farris -one of my favorite thriller authors since I first read THE FURY decades ago-- brings that series to a close with his fourth and final Fury novel. And it's a corker. Lightning fast pace and devious twists. And, although it's tough as hell to deepen characters that you've written about in multiple books, Farris does it. We care about Eden Waring and all of the characters in this novel --even the bad guys!
