Book Description
Well, 1935 has been a banner year for our heroes, and it's not over yet. When we left the gang, they'd been scattered to the proverbial wind following a little mishap involving mythological relics, mind control, and a smorgasbord of other pulp-rich ingredients. Now they are fighting for their survival on the chilly hills of the Faroe Islands and the baking sands of southern Spain, exploring ancient ruins and flying high over the frigid North Atlantic. Say hello once again to Lily, Archibald, the myriad Brothers Max, and that lovable Hugo "Brick" Brannigan as our band of adventurers continues their quest to foil the schemes of the wicked Cabal and Black Fang Delacroix and save the world as we know it. If, that is, they can survive... More packed with pulp than your day-old orange juice, come along for a rollicking adventure and see how the gang can survive being BURIED ALIVE IN THE FAROE ISLANDS. Now with more suspense!
