In "The Vril Codex II" by Ben Manning the hero of book one, Bob Wilkinson, has returned to a normal life when on a holiday he comes across a newspaper article that leads him to Helena Hister, a supernatural nemesis of sorts.
Readers of book one will probably get the most out of this first section that deals with their connection and the fantastic mythical, cult and the supernatural aspects of the story. The book can however be read as stand alone as the first chapter does bring you up to speed with the themes of this genre blending series.
An unexpected and very unlikely inheritance brings Bob to Dresden and in touch with the benefactor's wider family. His digging into the past and the why of the inheritance marks the beginning of the more sinister part of the book.
Celverly plotted, with great suspense, action and imagination this fantasy thriller has a lot going for it. Historians, fantasy fans and fans of cult fiction will enjoy this story and its twists.
