  • 1940. Hitler is about to employ the secret arts of dark and evil witchcraft to destroy England. It is the mission of John Graham, colonel in British Intelligence, to stop the onslaught of evil with an extraordinary strategy and defies all the rules of modern warfare: unite the different witches' covens throughout England, drawing upon powers that reach back through the centuries in a ritual of awesome sacrifice on the night of August 1st - the magical Lammas Night. N.B.  It has been determined in recent years that the great rite to keep Hitler from setting foot on English soil was a real event and there were still people living who admitted participating in it. Dennis Wheatley, noted occult author and who during the Second World War was a member of the London Controlling Section which secretly coordinated strategic military deception and cover plans, is likely to have been involved in the organisation of the event.

  • A widespread drought is causing murderous famine.

The bombs, buried irretrievably deep beneath them in the ice, are ticking...And in the midst of a desperate struggle for survival, the scientists discover that one of them is a ruthless killer on a strange mission of his own...Cover art by Chris Moore.

  • Bob Harlow is an academic; Vern Cugnet is an auto mechanic.  Beside this difference, Bob has another distinction - his once-pleasant life in North Dakota is going to hell. Terrible things are befalling Bob, his family and friends:  strange infections, nasty infestations, thefts and accidents - one of which is fatal. And Bob realises that the jinx is the result of a side trip he took into Tibet after a year-long sabbatical in China. There, in the Place of the Dead, Bob committed thoughtless sacrilege when he pocketed two mani stones - engraved funeral markers - as souvenirs. No matter what the obstacles, he must return the sacred objects. Vern - naive, crude and indomitable - volunteers to go along and the unlikely companions set out to undo the curse. The trek will take them through China, India and Nepal and involve them in border frays, encounters with holy hermits and bloodthirsty demons and finally, an audience with the Dalai Lama himself.
