From
the back cover
“Stephens
had to solve the mystery of the centuries-old house that stood still─or Earth
would be destroyed!
“At
first Allison Stephens knew only that there was something strange about the
house and its sinister inhabitants. Then he stumbled onto the spaceship and
learned of the catastrophe that threatened to obliterate the universe from the
heavens─a catastrophe that the masked immortals from the house that stood still
could prevent.
“But
the immortals planned instead to escape to another planet─leaving Earth to its
terrible fate. Only one of them, the unearthly Mistra Lannett, agreed to help
save the world. During the fateful days that followed, Stephens and Mistra met
the challenge to defeat the most indestructible aliens the world had ever
known!”
Review
House is an
excellent, fun thriller-science-fiction-P.I.-mystery novel, its prose lean for the
most part, always compelling and fast-paced, with constant twists, turns and mysterious
identities. This is a hard-to-set-down genre hybrid work, one that I read in short
period of time, and one that is great enough to be kept on my bookshelf (I don’t
keep most books), a high bar work for the genres it straddles.
