Why this must be read:
I’ve never particularly liked Xander. So when I read (and recommend) a story that has him as the lead character, well, people stand up and pay attention.
Have you ever read one of those stories where the more you read, that sinking, empty feeling in your stomach keeps getting bigger and bigger? And then you finish the story, and you just sit there in twisted awe, wondering at the impossible horror you’ve just read?
Yeah, that’s this story all right.
It’s THE meeting. Both heads of their respective blood feuding clans are there. Their little resource draining war will stop today. He’s prepared for everything. His faithful assistants (because they know the blame stops with them) have been handling the previous face to face meetings. That’s the way he likes it.
In so many ways, he’s the power behind this throne at Wolfram & Hart. He runs this branch with an iron hand in a velvet glove, and sometimes the iron hand in the steel glove. When he makes a public appearance, it’s normally for the biggest events possible.
Making his entrance, he sees they recognize him at once. Not, of course, that there are that many eye patch wearing lawyers in a two thousand dollar suit floating around in this place. But it’s always nice to have your reputation precede you.
He recognizes some of Clan Giared at the back of the room – he’d dealt with a couple of them back when he was still with the Watcher’s Council. They’re the ones turning green at the sight of him. This pleases him.
“Good afternoon,” he purrs. “My name is Alexander Harris, CEO of Wolfram and Hart New York. Shall we begin?”
