Second Skin
Eric V. Lustbader
Copyright 1995 by Eric V. Lustbader.
Published in paperback by Pocket Books, New York, 1990.

Paperback
....Nicholas Linnear is back -- to confront his most formidable and hated enemy.
Nicholas Linnear won a major battle with the apocalyptic destruction of Floating City. But his enemy has taken flight from the city's ruins in Vietnam to regroup and mount the assault that will solidify his ultimate power -- and destroy Linnear. Mick Leonforte, an international corporate power broker as well as criminal czar, is preparing to take on Linnear, his sworn nemesis, on the battleground where business and warfare become one. With the help of seasoned New York City police detective Lew Croaker and the dazzling, cunning Vesper Arkham, Linnear pursues his prey -- placing Koei, the woman he loves above all else, in the vengeful path of a criminal genius. And it will plunge Nicholas into the depths of Kshira -- the terrible force that even the master who trained him in the mysteries of psychic warfare was powerless to escape.
"What sets Eric Lustbader apart is his profound understanding of Eastern life and thought."
-- Louise Bernikow, Cosmopolitan

"Lustbader takes the reader on a magic carpet ride of violence, mysticism, and intrigue."
--Chris Petrakos, Chicago Tribune

"Second Skin dances between generations, summons up characters from earlier novels, and deals with time past almost like Proust ... As Lustbader creates a complex, giant microchip of a story, mere human readers enjoy sunrises of sexbliss and move like deathproof titans through a plot that bounces like a pinball from Tokyo to West Palm Beach."
