Publisher's Synopsis
The ever-bumbling Lar stumbles onto a cryogenic chamber inside of a pyramid buried under miles of Antarctic ice.
The aliens he unearths there, once awakened, draw a queen of an ancient race. Her magic and fringe science are far beyond anything Dr. Frankenstein and Victor Truman--for now, the most powerful fringe scientists and wizards on the planet--can fend off. But they're not out of moves. Naomi, Dr. Frankenstein's girlfriend, coming into her own finally, possesses powers beyond anything Dr. Frankenstein and Victor can fathom. Dr. Frankenstein's sidekicks and Victor Truman's posse play a part as well. But so do new entrants to the stage, including the blind huntresses--a cabal of dragon-riding women who mix magic with their hunting skills. Will the best defense against magic and science both that Earth has ever mustered be enough this time? No, it won't. And that's why our heroes resort to extreme measures to take their game up a level--and that in turn takes them off-world again and again to gather the esoteric knowledge and skills they need from the cosmic wizards who graduated mere worldly magic long, long ago. But no matter what our heroes do and how much they grow into themselves--nothing is any match for the alien queen. She belongs to a master race--one of several that enslaves far more advanced worlds readily. And so, once again, Dr. Frankenstein summons the beast to see if together they might pull off one more miracle.
