[edit] Plot summary
Various demons have battled Spike since he was given a chip preventing him from hurting humans. Now a more organised and united effort is being made to put him out of the picture.
In LA, Angel is searching for a mystical object that is linked to his days as the evil Angelus. Spike arrives in L.A. Each holds a grudge against each other yet they must reluctantly work together and deal with their shared evil pasts.
[edit] Trivia
- Tagline: 'Angel and Spike.. on the same side?'
- Buffyverse canon characters include: Angel and Spike
- A 'Buffy/Angel crossover' book, this involved Spike who was at the time a regular of Buffy, involved with Angel and the 'Fang Gang' in LA.
[edit] Continuity
- Suppose to be set early in BtVS's sixth season, and AtS third season. Story remains outside Buffyverse canon, and written long before Angel Season 5 which would come to contradict certain continuity points.
[edit] Canonical issues
- Buffy/Angel books such as this one are not usually considered by fans as canonical. Some fans consider them stories from the imaginations of authors and artists, while other fans consider them as taking place in an alternative fictional reality. However unlike fan fiction, overviews summarising their story, written early in the writing process, were 'approved' by both Fox and Joss Whedon (or his office), and the books were therefore later published as officially Buffy/Angel merchandise.
