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.

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.

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!
