Description

It s 1892 and Sutekh is hopping mad. It seems a 3,000 year old Egyptian sorcerer has stolen one of the God s secrets of life – that of instilling the souls of the dying into inanimate things. Sutekh raises three mummified former high priests, led by the villainous First Servant , and charges them with recovering both the Sorceror and his secret. There is no lack of victims for the 3 stylish villains as they pursue their prey to 19th century Paris, and the very young puppeteer, Andre Toulon. Toulon runs a puppet theatre in the heart of Paris, and meets the sorcerer (the mysterious Afzel) when he is found by the lovely Swiss Ambassador s daughter Ilsa, after being nearly killed. It is there and then that we find the seed of things to come, and the origin of the Puppetmaster series of tales.
