Another amusing horror story from Rob Thurman. Cal, Niko, and Robin are hired by psychotic Abelia-Roo, a grandmotherly Rom with a streak of cruelty that puts Hitler to shame, to find and retreive an iron coffin. The catch? An anti-healer called the Plague of the World, is slowly breaking the seals that keep him in the coffin and is leaving a trail of dead behind him. The Plague of the Worlds ultimate goal? The destruction of all living things. Thanks to an odd freindship, Niko manages to get Rafferty and his wolf cousin Catcher to help them. Only Rafferty's healing abilities are able to keep them alive through all the peachy little viral death traps the Plague of the World leave behind for them. A great side story in this is Robin's attempt at monogamy. Highly amusing. Cal's semi-girlfreind, Delihlia, is also along for the ride. The question Cal is asking is if she's there to help them or kill him. It will be a wonder to see who gets the honor of trying to kill him first. A great book that pulls you along with slices of horror mixed with a goodly dose of humor.
