Summary: Quiddity must be preserved!
Review: Randolph Jaffe was a man at the end of his rope. He hungered to be a big man, a king, yet all his life he had never managed to rise higher than a private in the ranks as he passed from job to job. At 37 he felt that time was running out. Now he had a dead end job in the central Dead Letter Office of the U.S. Postal Service. Yet, even here his brutal, vulgar coworkers and supervisor left him no peace. He found himself forced to participate in systematic looting of unclaimed mail for money and valuables. As he did this day after day he seriously began to contemplate suicide. Then, as he started to read the letters that he was opening he discovered, slowly, that the world was not what it seemed- not even remotely. Here and there, certain people hinted at a world behind the world, a Sea of Seas, the Shoal, Quiddity- and the Art. One day, Jaffe found a medallion in the mail- and everything changed. What had first been synchronicity in his life as he deciphered the mystery, now turned to direct supernatural power. Unfortunately, this was a power that Jaffe never should have possessed. He was a petty, unworthy, little man that had learned nothing from his own maltreatment by others. He used the power from the start to murder and exploit. Yet, he hungered for even more power to remake the world to serve his ego. Unfortunately, this would create all sorts of problems for the guardians who were worthy of the secrets of the Art....
