When Pirate Captain Jack Dancer and the crew of the Red Wench raid a Spanish galleon they little realise that within their plunder lies the missing chapter of a feared occult tome listing the nine million names of God. Dr Orlando Doyle, a fearsome sorcerer, has the rest of the book and together with his zombie crew he plans to retrieve the missing piece of this infernal puzzle. Using any means at his disposal he intends to utilise the dreaded book in a devilish deal to bring about the downfall of creation itself! Written by Ian Edginton (Scarlet Traces, Richard Matheson's Hell House) and illustrated by Steve Yeowell (Zenith, The Invisibles) The Red Seas is an irreverent take on the pirate yarn spiced with full-blooded horror.
