La Malédiction de Marco Polo

Suite aux pluies torrentielles qui se sont abattues sur le delta du Mississippi, l'US Border Patrol inspecte ce secteur apprécié des contrebandiers et passeurs de clandestins. La brigade de Jack Menard a d'ailleurs découvert un chalutier échoué sur une île. Et sa cargaison est pour le moins inhabituelle : de minuscules singes siamois, un perroquet savant sans plumes, un bébé jaguar très particulier… Tout indique que la mère, un fauve de plus de deux cents kilos muni de dents de sabre, s'est échappée. Pour l'aider à comprendre d'où proviennent de telles aberrations, et qui a pu les créer, Jack fait appel au Dr Lorna Polk, une pointure en génétique animale et une vieille connaissance… Mais la vraie question qu'ils vont devoir éclaircir est : dans quel but ces expérimentations ont-elles été menées ?

It will take the light of all three to forge the Chalice anew and banish him again to his eternal darkness. With the Apocalypse looming, Erin must again join forces with Army Sergeant Jordan Stone and Father Rhun Korza to search for a treasure lost for millennia. But the prize has already fallen into the hands of their enemy, a demon named Legion, before whom even the walls of the Vatican will fall. The search for the key to salvation will take Erin and the others across centuries and around the world, from the dusty shelves of the Vatican's secret archives to lost medieval laboratories, where ancient alchemies were employed to horrific ends. All the while, they are hunted, besieged by creatures of uncanny skill and talent. As clues are dug free from ancient underground chapels and found frozen in icy mountain caverns, one that will destroy not only her, but all she loves.
