Sinopsis

With an effort Adam came back to earth. This was no dream but really happening. Adam Gordon, the poor Scots lad who, through a number of strange vicissitudes, had made good, become a best-selling author and flown out to Mexico in search of a background for a new book, had got himself caught up in a conspiracy to overthrow the government and, dressed in the costume of a Toltec Prince, was about to present himself as a Man-God to scores of credulous people. It was absurd, ridiculous-but a fact. 
 
Set in modern and ancient Mexico, Unholy Crusade recounts the adventures of 'Lucky' Adam Gordon, a young best-selling novelist who has gone to that country in search of background material for a new book, and who soon finds himself in love with the exquisitely beautiful but deeply religious Chela. 
 
Adam's ability to go back in time enables the reader to glimpse both the magnificent and barbaric sides of ancient Mexican civilisation, but this is only part of the story. Adam becomes entangled with a group of sinister individuals who are prepared to go to almost any lengths to achieve their evil ambition, finds himself continually fraught with danger, is caught between two powerful rival factions, and is forced to participate in blood-curdling pagan rites.

    Voices of Dracula - Series 1 -...

    In writing Dracula, Bram Stoker created a universe full of rich characters, dark and foreboding locations, and a tangled web of loyalties, relationships and motivations. Despite the story being fictional -at least one hopes that’s the case - many elements within the story were reflections and analogies of the Stoker family and their history.A little over 120 years after the book’s original release, Bram’s great-grandnephew Dacre Stoker has teamed up with author Chris McAuley to create a series of short stories set within the StokerVerse, each narrated from the point of view of one of the characters we all know - or think we know - so well.Narrated by some of the leading voice actors of today, Stoker’s short stories are dark, twisted and of course hugely entertaining. Simon Templeman (Legacy of Kain, Dragon Age, Dead Space 3, Charmed and so much more) plays Dracula with all the expertise and finesse one would expect from such a lauded performer, whilst Claudia Christian (Babylon 5, 9-1-1, Disney’s Atlantis: The Lost Empire) is the mysterious Thief. TV’s sixth Doctor Colin Baker (Doctor Who, Kingdom, Hustle) masterfully narrates vampire hunter Van Helsing’s stories whilst Terry Molloy - most famous for playing the Doctor’s on-screen nemesis Davros - takes the part of Renfield. Jessica Martin (Doctor Who, The Sandman) completes the line-up as Mina Harker.If you’re a fan of vampires - particularly those of a more gothic nature - then these brand-new adventures will surely appeal to you. With Dacre Stoker’s major contribution, these stories are the most significant addition to the official Dracula canon since Francis Ford Coppola’s 1992 film Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
