Publisher's Synopsis
Mientras el terror de la amenaza nazi se extiende por el mundo, un horror primigenio ronda el umbral a nuestro planeta a pocos kilómetros de Perote, donde una excavación arqueológica ha revelado un templo consagrado a Xipe Tótec, "Nuestro Señor el Desollado", antiguo y sanguinario dios prehispánico de los ancestros mexicas. Una deidad que puede ser más que un desvarìo precolombino: Xipe Tótec, como sus hermanos primigenios, parece estar a punto de resurgir bañado en la sangre de sus seguidores. Ahora, un variopinto grupo de héroes y heroìnas, concentrados en el lugar y momento precisos por la mano del destino, habrá de unir fuerzas para impedir que el portal al inframundo se abra, una vez más, en nuestro mundo.
While the terror of the Nazi threat spreads throughout the world, a primal horror haunts the threshold of our planet a few kilometers from Perote, where an archaeological excavation has revealed a temple consecrated to Xipe Tótec, Nuestro Señor el Desollado, an ancient and bloodthirsty God of Mexican ancestors. A deity that may be more than a pre-Columbian delirium: Xipe Tótec, like his early brothers, seems to be about to re-emerge bathed in the blood of his followers. Now, a diverse group of heroes and heroines, concentrated in the right place and time by the hand of destiny, will have to join forces to prevent the portal to the underworld from opening, once again, in our world.
