A thrilling adventure on the other side of the Cthulhu Mythos: the stars are right at last...

Twenty years have passed since the ancient war between the Great Old Ones and their bitter enemies swept Owen Merrill away from the world he thought he inhabited.

As a seventh-degree initiate in the Starry Wisdom Church, he knows that the time is close when Great Cthulhu will awaken in his temple-tomb in drowned Râlyeh and end the war once and for all.

Neither he nor any of the servants of the Great Old Ones is prepared, however, for the last desperate counterstroke of the Radianceâ"the unleashing of the Color out of Space, an alien form of matter that can end all life on Earth.

As the final conflict looms, Owen flings himself on a last desperate quest to stop the descent of the Color out of Space.

His journey will take him from the ruins of a New Jersey college town to a long-forgotten stair descending into a Virginia graveyard, and then to the Dreamlands and beyond.

Helping him are a renegade Radiance negation team commander, a sorcerer out of archaic legend, the youngest of the Great Old Ones, and his own witch-daughter Asenath, but against him stands the massed might of the Radiance, a being of the outer voids summoned by the enemies of the Great Old Ones, and the Color out of Space itself...
