The plague is spreading across Europe -- a plague as vile and vicious as the plagues of the middle ages. It is a plague more virulent than any childhood disease: everyone will catch it; everyone who catches it will die. But this is no ordinary plague: it is the work of a sorcerer -- a man of exactly the stripe as Boothby's infamous villain, Nikola. One man knows how it's spread. One man can stop it -- if he can face PHAROS, THE EGYPTIAN. If he dares, for the life of the world. (jacketless library hardcover.)
