Description: Sixth in the series of Sacred Band of Stepsons novels, and the last for twenty years, until The Sacred Band, 2010, Storm Seed is the most mythological of the Sacred Band books and a sophisticated romp.  This searing adventure unites the Sacred Band of Stepsons and Tempus's sister-in-arms, Cime, for a mission like no other as Tempus's shape-changing son, bent on revenge, stalks his father into tomorrow.   Favorite characters, old enemies and friends, witches and warlocks, are brought together for this battle with no less than the future of the heavens at stake.
Notes: Baen Books, 1990.   The back cover text says:  "The Sacred Band Rides Again!  Tempus, immortal hero, avatar of the Storm God, ruler of the City at the Edge of Time, joins with his partner Niko to reunite the Sacred Band for a mission of vengeance that will take them to the farthest reaches of time and space -- and back home again."

A must-read for Sacred Band fans, as Tempus and Niko get the old Band back together and bring gods to a godless future.
