Description

Crown, 99. ISBN:0-609-60293-4. First Edition. light glue stain on top panel, two tiny white specks on front black cover, minor bottom spine bump, otherwise a near fine book and dustjacket. Ike Crockett finds a bottomless cave in Tibet while guiding trekkers to a holy mountain. When his lover disappears, he follows her into the depths of the gound. Meanwhile in a leper colony on the edge of the Kahahari Desert, a nun and linguist named Alivon Schade finds evidence of a proto-human species and a god called Older-than-Old, and in Bosnia Major Elias Branch has his gunship crashland near a mass grave and is set upon by pale light-shy cannibals. All of this starts man's discovery of an underworld---a large geological underground web spread throughout the land masses and seabeds, part of which is inhabited by brutish creatures who look like legendary devils and gargoyles. Why is this? Can it be explained scientifically?. 1st Edition. Hardcover. MYSTERIES PLUS MYSTERY CATALOGUE 0-609-60293-4.
