Palace of Doom, the fourth volume of The Grave Robbers’ Chronicles, tightens its noose of suspense around the necks of its characters and provides more of the monstrous creatures that nightmares are made of in this claustrophobic, chilling Chinese saga.
It’s a grave-robbing reunion when Fats, Poker-face, Panzi, and Uncle Three’s long-suffering nephew find themselves on a train headed for a mysterious, mythical palace in a world of glaciers, avalanches, and blizzards. They have no idea why Uncle Three has sent the message that brought them all together again but they soon discover that they aren’t alone in their search. Their femme fatale adversary, Ning, is on the same trail, with a team of foreigners—and quite possibly a hostage—Uncle Three.
