Another
decent story by Stackpole in the Dark Conspiracy rpg gameworld. In
the last book, we followed Tycho Caine as he fought the Darklord
Fiddleback. In this book, we still follow Caine but we also follow an
alien who was created to fight Darklords like Fiddleback as well as a
protege of Caine’s as he hunts down the training school Caine came
from.
This wasn’t anything I’d recommend to you all now, that’s for sure. It wasn’t bad but it didn’t have that pizazz that Stackpole “could” bring to his own projects. It came across for what it was, a writing project to pay the bills for a year or two. Those kinds of books aren’t necessarily bad nor should they be automatically avoided, but I do think their consumption should be limited, just like cheetos.

In this, the second book of the Fiddleback Trilogy, the war of Dark Lords against humanity expands. Rajani, the daughter of an ET, struggles across a ruined Earth to destroy the Dark Lord Fiddleback.
Fiddleback's former puppet, Tycho Caine, assumes the identity of Coyote and takes on his mission: protecting humanity from the creature that created him. Caine's mission leads him to a Tibetan monastery, where the dimension-walking monks help him discover his true nature.
One of Coyote's aides, Sinclair MacNeal, travels to Tokyo to find the enclave of assassins where Fiddleback forged Caine in a very deadly weapon.
Where these three paths converge, Dark Lords class, and reality bends like heated wax.
