'king Zéus - 2: Quilla ('king Zéus Sagas) (Volume 2)

‘king Zéus- Preylude finished with the outbreak of the ‘pestilence’, a contagion that will threaten the very future of humanity. Was Vengeance and Quillon’s legacy to the werld enough to help the survival of the race, or did the greed and power lust of nations, deities and men allow no such burgeoning of hope ..... It has been twenty-three allends since Goran Fess succumbed as the first victim of the contagion . . . the ‘king Zéus Sagas continue with: ‘king Zéus2- Quilla - which opens upon a werld where the Pestilence is rampant; devouring cities and nations. Mythic forces clash for dominance, paying scant heed to the fate lines of women and men. And within this maelstrom of anguish lies the envious vision of the E’Boline; an alien race avowed to revenge upon humankind, and devoid of any pity. Enmeshed in these connivings are the three cornerstones of human frailty; guld, enslavery and narco’s. A triumvirate of aspired power lust and inevitable treachery. And now the ‘pestil has laid siege to Theograd itself, the once time glittering jewel in the Domination’s enspiked crown. Fear, greed and panic vie within the city-state’s iron girt walls, and death stalks its streets. Little attention is paid to but one man as he enters through the once might portals of Theograd, yet he carries the knowledge of the megaopolis’ final fate with him. He has been given a mission, but time is against him, as is one of the E’Boline’s assassin ‘Sendings’ – beings that cannot return to their werld until their evil tasking has been completed. The Saga begins with Jamaan ascending to Theograd’s benighted Topwerld – a place ruled by narco barons, and one such in particular. Here the rule of power is honed upon the daggund’s cut throat edge. Though Jamaan seeks a very different Blade . . one all the odds are stacked against him ever finding . . . . and the worse for him if he does! ‘king Zéus2- Quilla concludes high upon a darkened mountain, the sparks from a funeral pyre spangling the night. One battle has been won, but the war against envy, greed and the powerlust to possess and dominate still continues within a weakened, disease ridden werld . . . The Saga continues with ‘king Zéus3- Phine
