Publisher's Synopsis
Vic: Mongol, is the 2nd book in the epic saga, new pulp adventure series The Incredible Adventures of Vic Challenger, set in the 1920s.
On the second trip of her quest to find her soul mate, the reincarnated cave girl visits Outer Mongolia. En-route, she and friend Lin Li team up with a young lady detective and become embroiled in a murder case that leaves port with them.
In Mongolia, they learn to play shagai games with their guide's 7-year-olds and consistently lose. Unfortunately, the trip is not all fun and games. They must deal with hordes of olgoi-khorkhoi, Chinese Red Beards, White Russians, hungry wolves, a lost species of human, sub-zero weather, and a wind storm. One lesson learned: not everyone who first looks like a bad guy is a bad guy.
The series is set in the 1920s and considerable research adds to the "realism". Vic's travels are woven into the history of the time, so you may be asking yourself "Is this real?"
"The Incredible Adventures of Vic Challenger" series is inspired by writers like Edgar Rice Burroughs, H. Rider Haggard, Jules Verne, Arthur Conan Doyle, and H. G. Wells; and by characters like Nancy Drew, Lara Croft, Alan Quatermain, Doc Savage and his cousin Patricia Savage, and Dick Benson and his assistant Nellie Gray. The writing style has been compared to Burroughs and is also reminiscent of early action-driven horror novels by Graham Masterton,
Unless you are already a fanatical fan of new pulp adventure or of original pulp adventure from the early 20th Century, you are going to be amazed. New pulp adventure is unlike anything else you have read lately. Vic Challenger novels are adrenaline-pumping fun and her adventures are unpredictable.
