This is a fiction work in White Wolf's World of Darkness. This is the first book the in the Year-of -the-Scarab trilogy. This trilogy is related fairly solidly in 3 of World of Darkness games. Mummy the Resurrection, Hunter the Reckoning, and Wraith the Oblivion, with a few light touches into Mage, Vampire and Werewolf.

In this first book we meet the hunters who are still learning about their powers and about the strange and powerful beings that share the world with them. The hardest lesson to learn is things aren't always as they appear.

Some of the creatures in the WoD are very powerful, very resourceful which makes them very dangerous. One needs to decide very carefully who's friend who's enemy and what to do with both.

I really enjoyed this series and they were fairly decent for WoD fiction. Kept the action going, recommended. ( )
