The long awaited follow up to `Conan And The Emerald Lotus', Hocking once again proves to be amongst the best of the Conan pastiche writers.
Sent to recover treasure from a plague-wracked city, not only must Conan avoid its deranged survivors, but battle a deadly disease given humanoid shape. To save himself - and perhaps the world - he allies with a scheming sorcerer to traverse a demon-haunted abyss in a desperate bid to destroy the Living Plague.
