Used Book – The Mage of Salem, Wolfgang Hohlbein, Jean-François Gérault

1883: somewhere off the coast of Scotland, a four-masted ship is shipwrecked on the reefs and only a handful of survivors escape the catastrophe. Among them, the man who alone is responsible for the tragedy: a man hunted by dark powers older than Earth. His heir, Robert Craven, will in turn have to bear the terrible curse that haunts his family and try to put an end to the dark deeds of the Great Old Ones. Wolfgang Hohlbein, one of Germany's most renowned contemporary fantasy writers, took up the torch lit by Howard Phillips Lovecraft in 1984. He offers fans of the genre an original variation on the Cthulhu myth. The saga of the Mage of Salem, conceived as a series of dark adventure and mystery, sees Robert Craven travel the world as it was (or almost...) at the end of the 19th century in order to thwart the return of the Great Old Ones. Lovecraft, H. G. Wells, Phileas Fogg, Captain Nemo and many others will be his occasional companions on this long and fascinating epic. And since there must be a beginning, let's witness the return of the Great Old Ones without further ado!
