Robert never quite feels at home with Cassie's family, a gang of eccentrics including a reptile smuggler, a worshipper of Osiris, and an old woman who believes her photographs can see into the future. When he breaks up with Cassie, she is so upset that she gives him the most terrible thing she can offer: an envelope of her grandmother's photos, which show in detail the path that Robert's life will take. At first, this vision of the future gives him strength - but soon it becomes a prison on glossy paper.

Sein Name ist Khazaar Drasurq, und er ist anders als alle Männer, die sie kannte. Er ist gefährlich. Er ist unberechenbar.

Sie ist ein kleines Rädchen in einem großen Plan, den der besitzergreifende Alienlord verfolgt.
