Description

Johannes Cabal results in this fearfully funny and terrifically complicated story of murder and international interest. . . five thousand feet off the ground. When an attempt to steal a rare book turns bitter, Johannes Cabal, a necromancer of some small infamy, finds herself in an international prison awaiting execution. A handy strategy -- as terrible because it is cunning -- allows him to steal the identity of the government standard and create his escape aboard a luxurious aeroship venturing out of the country. But what must certanly be an ideal vacation quickly becomes difficult by the strange disappearance of the traveler, an attempt on Cabal's existence, and an unwanted encounter in the past. Trapped aboard having a monster, can actually Cabal's available-blade of the brain preserve him? Full of twists, turns, blade Battles, archenemies, newfangled traveling machines, narrow escapes, and, obviously, resurrected dead, Johannes Cabal’s latest eldritch adventure is just a Ruritanian run from first to last.
