Synopsis

Jack's back for one more round with the Trancers. Jack Deth must attempt to find his way home from the other-dimensional world of Orpheus, where magic works and the Trancers were the ruling class (before Trancers 4, that is). Unfortunately, Jack's quest to find the mystical Tiamond in the Castle of Unrelenting Terror may be thwarted by the return of Caliban, king of the Trancers and once thought dead.

Plot

Caliban (who was previously defeated and vanished) returns in the form of a dog and pursues Jack Deth, and Caliban's son Prospero to the Castle of Unrelenting Terror, whom Jack has begun to trust somewhat. Caliban was revived via magic and knows that Jack needs the Tiamond to get back to his own dimension. The Nobles begin to turn the tables on the Tunnel Rats and Jack and Prospero return to the village. While fighting Caliban, Jack is wounded badly but manages to return to Angel City with Prospero who is no longer trancing or feeling the need to feast. He leaves the other worldly Lyra pregnant and dates the namesake version of her in his own time.
