The iron fist of Trebaldi’s monks is still strangling Rome, but such an army is expensive. To pay his men before their loyalty begins to slip, the Pope must rely on the financial assistance of European monarchs—and a large sum in gold is coming to Rome. But such a convoy is tempting to many! Trebaldi, the Nine Families, thieves and conspirators… And all figure they can use the Scorpion against each other to obtain what they want.
The Scorpion is a book I’ve allways liked -from having read it in German. And now in English. The art is just luscious. The colour, the figures, costumes, buildings and backgrounds –and the story keeps piling on the twists and swashbuckling.
I can write no more than to say “take a look at these pages” followed by “buy this book!”
