A WORLD AT WAR. AN ANCIENT BLOOD FEUD. TERROR... IS ETERNAL.
At the height of the second World War, the British Museum enlists Priscilla Stuyvesant and the crew of the Steam Ship Limpkin to safeguard their priceless antiquities on a trip across the Atlantic for safekeeping in America. Greater dangers await on the open sea when the ship is overtaken by a squad of renegade Nazi deserters led by an infamous surgeon exiled for committing genetic experiments on his own people.
But an even more deadly threat is aboard. A trio of exhibits from ancient Egypt awake from their millennial slumber. Alive, they were the Pharaoh's most cherished warriors, priests of a forbidden order in worship to Gods that predate man. In death, they've become something far more sinister.
