If, as John Devil supposes, the brains of dead men can be relocated in new and sturdier bodies, the change will be even greater. When the contest to discover such things was a small affair involving lone men of dubious soundness of mind, it was bound to progress slowly, but that is no longer the case. Soon, the British Empire, like every other in the world, will be an Empire of Necromancers within a decade." US$ 20.95 /GBP 12.99 5x8 tpb, 248 p.

The British Crown put their best man, former Scotland Yard Superintendent Gregory Temple on the trail of criminal mastermind Henri de Belcamp, a.k.a. John Devil, who plans to use such technology, and the "Grey Men" it produces, to reshape the world.
