Captured and then abandoned by Olrik, Mortimer is now lost at sea with no provisions. Fortunately, he can always count on Blake. Once reunited, and with the help of some old friends, the two British gentlemen continue their dangerous mission to stop Von Stahl from resurrecting the Third Reich using the evil power of the 30 pieces of silver… a mission that will take them throughout Greece and into the very Kingdom of Hades!
What can I say without spoiling someone’s read of this book? Well, obviously, it’s part 2 of the story and things are far more “Go! Go! Go!” than the pages below indicate. Commandoes, gun fights, mysterious caves and a lovely ending in those caves for….oops. That would be telling.
The story-telling is spot on as always and the art a gem. Edgar P. Jacobs would be happy!
Dare I write “one of the best Blake and Mortimer stories to date”? Well, I just did. Buy the book and see what you think…I’ve read it twice so far!
