Description: New. Lucifer continues his quest to break free of God's influence and forge his own destiny. The war between the forces of Heaven and Hell finally erupts into a full-scale siege of the Silver City. As Fenris advances on the primum mobile, intent on destroy... read more
"As the book opens, Lilith, the first woman, and the architect of Heaven, is leading her children, the Lilim against the forces of The Silver City. God has disappeared and Lilith means to destroy his throne, the Primum Mobile, to prevent God from returning home. Meanwhile Lucifer gathers his own forces that include Lilith's daughter Mazikeen, and the human woman Elaine--herself now a divine power and maker of her own form of creation.
Lucifer visits Hell's new ruler, Christopher Rudd, in the hopes of convincing him to aid Heaven in their battle with Lilith. This puts Rudd in a sticky situation: his own goal is to eliminate the division between Hell and Heaven and do away with this class system. Rudd wants change but he also doesn't want to see Heaven and all creation destroyed as Lilith does.
All sorts of characters try to pass final judgment on heaven, hell and generally all creation (one of them being the second child of the Basanos whose beef is only with Lucifer) but in the end it is Yahweh himself who needs to decide what to do with his creation. Lilith and Elaine Belloc serve as "advocatus diaboli" and "advocatus dei" but as always, Lucifer finds a way to bend the rules a little bit, even in this final climax.
While the series does end the story doesn't. Many questions about the new order of Heaven, Hell, and the world itself are left unanswered for perhaps a later series.

Title Lucifer Vol. 10: Morningstar Author Mike Carey Reviewed By Purplycookie"
There's a war in heaven, and Lucifer and Elaine Belloc have to choose a side. Now. Surprisingly, the agent who steps forward to help them is Noema, Child of the Basanos and sworn enemy of the Lightbringer. The problem: Lucifer must find himself an ally in the most unlikely of places, or the war will be lost, and all creation will fall back into the void. There's also a quick break for a story in which an ancient mage summons the most powerful demon in Hell...and gets Gaudium. We're at the penultimate volume and the series' quality is as high as ever. Very good stuff. ****"
