In this second installment, Hunter and his friends must locate and destroy the secret genetics laboratory of rival Opus Dei before they can create something powerful enough to take out the Vatican. At the same time, they must contend with dead people who refuse to stay buried, glowing ghosts, Cajun werewolves, vampires, demons and bloodthirsty witches. Set against the backdrop of New Orleans during the Second Age, master storyteller Art Wiederhold once again weaves a rich, magical tapestry of horror, science fiction, fantasy and dark humor that is certain to delight readers of all ages.
