An explosive new Max August magickal thriller from one of the great comics masters
Legendary comics writer Steve Englehart returns to the adventures of Max August
in the fourth novel in his fantasy thriller series.
Max August was once a regular guy, before he learned the ways of magick and
immortality and became a staunch crusader against the supernatural
forces of evil. Though immune to the effects of time, Max is not
indestructible, and now he must face the vast, worldwide conspiracy
known as the Necklace.
Max has only a few allies in this fight
among them: Pam, an apprentice in the alchemical arts, and Vee, a
chanteuse with an uncanny knack for all things magick. But the Necklace
is plotting a massive catastrophe fueled by the magical power of a
demonic entity; using Black Ops helicopters to massacre tens of
thousands of spectators in a domed stadium, re-awakening terrorist fears and destabilizing the U.S. government. Max will need all his magick,
and all the help he can get, for him to have any chance to thwart the
attack and survive to fight another day.
