Volume 5: Dr. Prometheus After the passage of the Anatomy Act, surgeons have access to legally obtained corpses. Yet a few individuals persist in making their illicit living from grave-robbing. And what exactly is the research of the mysterious Dr. Prometheus, who purchases these dead bodies? Could it have any connection to the wild stories regarding re-animated corpses shuffling about in some of the seedier areas of London? When Scotland Yard's finest are baffled, Jason Dark is called in to investigate, not realizing the dangers that lie in wait even for a seasoned investigator of the occult. This is the fifth volume in a series of gothic horror adventures where Jason Dark, a fearless and resourceful ghost hunter, follows in the mold of a Sherlock Holmes combined with Randall Garrett's Lord D'Arcy. Written by Guido Henkel, the designer who brought Germany's famed Das Schwarze Auge series to computer screens, this series is filled with enough mystery, drama and suspenseful action to transport you to the sinister, fog-shrouded streets of Victorian England. Your encounter with the extraordinary awaits.

May 10th, 2010 - In his quest for immortality, Dr Prometheus makes a pact with the Devil that has far-reaching consequences. And what of the rumors of walking corpses? Ghost hunter, Jason Dark, is called in to investigate. This is the fourth Jason Dark volume I’ve read and the best one yet. Henkel very cleverly weaves historical fact into the story, which for me made for a more engrossing read. The writing is very visual and pulls you back to a time when life was cheap and even the dead weren’t safe. Another gripping, action-packed read. |
