Long John Silver Book IV – Guina-Capac

Long John Silver Book IV – Guina-Capac, by Xavier Dorison & Mathhieu Lauffray, Cinebook

LORD BYRON Hastings is alive. Alive but quite insane. Promiscuous down-on-her-luck Lady Vivian has travelled half way across the world hoping to find the treasures his notes home spoke of, liaising herself with Long John Silver and his men along the way, only to be trapped in swamplands and now find herself and the pregnant child within her about to be sacrificed in a pyramid the Aztecs and their forbears made to Lovecraftian demons long ago.

Or are these all drug and fever induced dreams? Are they the things a cutlass made of honest steel swung by a reprobate with a heart blackened by medical condition as much as conscience can run through and put right? All and more actually.

56 pages of tragedy, subdued sexual tension, human horror, non-stop rain; a high seas adventure come ashore to escape South American Indiana Jones style traps and tortures, then suffer bloody deaths too. And were we meet heroes in the most unlikely places. A visual feast for the damned, a story not easily forgotten. Hats off to Dorison and Lauffray, with respects well paid to Robert Louis Stevenson
