Ein weiteres Moore-Abenteuer mit Vernes Helden:
From The
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen! Sixteen years ago, notorious science-brigand
Janni Nemo journeyed into the frozen reaches of Antarctica to resolve her
father’s weighty legacy in a storm of madness and loss, barely escaping with
her Nautilus and her life. Now it is 1941, and with her daughter strategically
married into the family of aerial warlord Jean Robur, Janni’s raiders have only
limited contact with the military might of the clownish German-Tomanian
dictator Adenoid Hynkel. But when the pirate queen learns that her loved ones
are held hostage in the nightmarish Berlin, she has no choice save to intervene
directly, traveling with her aging lover Broad Arrow Jack into the belly of the
beastly metropolis. Within that alienated city await monsters, criminals, and
legends, including the remaining vestiges of Germany’s notorious ‘Twilight
Heroes’, a dark Teutonic counterpart to Mina Murray’s League of Extraordinary
Gentlemen. And waiting at the far end of this gauntlet of alarming adversaries
there is something much, much worse.
