Size: 6x1x9; First edition. An exceptional copy. Binding tight and square, pages clean, bright, and unmarked. 2010 Hard Cover. viii, [4], 289 pp. Book 2 of 5 in series. Johannes Cabal returns in this fearfully funny and terrifically twisted tale of murder and international intrigue...five thousand feet off the ground. When an attempt to steal a rare book turns sour, Johannes Cabal, a necromancer of some little infamy, finds himself in a foreign prison awaiting execution. A crafty plan--as horrific as it is cunning--allows him to steal the identity of a government official and make his escape aboard a luxurious aeroship heading out of the country. But what should be a perfect getaway rapidly becomes complicated by the bizarre disappearance of a passenger, an attempt on Cabal's life, and an unwelcome face from the past. Trapped aboard with a killer, can even Cabal's open-razor of a mind save him? Full of twists, turns, sword fights, archenemies, newfangled flying machines, narrow escapes, and, of course, resurrected dead, Johannes Cabal's latest eldritch escapade is a Ruritanian romp from first to last.
