It all started as a routine excavation in Palestine. But soon you find yourself racing across the desert on a mission to track down a legendary ancient relic before the Nazis can get their hands on it. And that's just the beginning. The Third Reich is mobilizing across the world in search of mysterious ancient Hallows of Power, objects that could put unimaginable supernatural forces into the hands of the armies of darkness. And the only thing standing in their way is you.
Put on the worn boots of a 1930s braggart archaeologist and prepare for a wild journey around the world, encountering adventure, romance and mystery at every step. Do you have what it takes to locate the relics, defeat your enemies and save the world from a thousand years of darkness?

The Wailing

You sip your complimentary gin and tonic and watch the waters of the Med glide by below. These past few days have given you an awful lot to think about, but now you'll have time to ponder. A long Louisiana summer lies ahead of you, with space for reflection and regret.


Then something starts to happen. The world before your senses starts to shimmer and flicker. The insectile buzz of the airship's propeller bleeds into a different sound—the low, rasping, erratic wheeze of the engine of a dirty old tramp steamer on the South China Sea.


Your senses clear, your memories fade, and you are back aboard the good ship Semiramis, lashed tight to your chair in the cargo hold, looking into the face of a man you first saw all those years ago under a blazing desert sun outside the Bull's Horns.
