In the third Liminal Novel Taggert's adopted daughter disappears so he only has one option: find her.
When
Taggert's adopted daughter goes missing he suspects the hand of an old
enemy. He gathers friends, family, and even those who don't quite trust
that he has left his violent past behind. But their search leads them to
an unexpected place, the past, and the consequences of their journey
have a price that is higher than they can afford.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
It's been a long wait since Jama-Everett's 2009 debut, The Liminal People, but the same raw wattage that lit up healer/killer Taggert's epic introduction to his daughter, Tamara, and his split with his sociopathic mentor, Nordeen, is at work in this rich, dense sequel. This episode opens with a characteristic blast of pure psychic chaos from Tamara, who's discovered that Prentis, a child Taggert calls "mine by choice," has disappeared from the sensory realm commanded by superpowered liminals like Taggert's family. Taggert's sure that Prentis isn't dead, but beyond that he's stumped. His lover, Samantha, guides him to the Rasta-tinged commune of London's Eel Pie Island, where he encounters the avatar of a four-billion-year-old vegetable god who allies with him in the search. And that's just the first 30 pages. Jama-Everett writes with such cyclonic energy and verbal legerdemain that occasionally the plot has to be taken on faith, but the noir-infused verve of the telling makes it all work.
