He has acquired such a reputation that Hell is reluctant to risk him despite the desperate on-going battle it is in; the battle for its very survival. He is saved for the most important, the most critical of missions. Consequently, Nemesis has not been despatched from Hell for four hundred years. Then suddenly he is sent upon an almost impossible mission upon which the outcome of eternity will turn. In this gripping fantasy the chief assassin of Hell embarks upon a desperate adventure against a background of events in which everything is about to be turned upside down."
