Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. Brilliant attempt at describing the interactions of the Cthulhu Mythos with the American State through the 20th & 21st Centuries. Very exciting and with the methodical detail that you expect from Osprey as well as entertainingly written by Kenneth Hite, and beautifully illustrated by Darren Tan. If you're a gamer, a board gamer or someone with just an interest in science fiction, alternate realities of just a H P Lovecraft fang who wants to know what has happened to all those tentacles in the time since the 1920's then this is the book for you. Definitive for its niche. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

From the Patriots' raid on the necromancer Joseph Curwen to the Special Forces' assault on Leng in 2007, this unique document reveals the secret and terrible struggle between the United States and the supernatural forces of Cthulhu. In this war, immortal cultists worship other-dimensional entities and plot to raise an army of the dead. Incomprehensible undersea intelligences infiltrate and colonize American seaports, and alien races lurk beneath the ice of Antarctica and high in the mountains of Afghanistan. It is only through constant vigilance and violence that the earth has survived. Also included are threat reports describing the indescribable - humanity's deadliest foes serving Cthulhu and the other Great Old Ones. Strange times are upon us, the world is changing, and even death may die - but, until then, the war continues.This product is not associated with the Cthulhu Wars tabletop game by Petersen Games, LLC; PetersenGames.com Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

The Feel:
Love the “this is a true story and history” aspect of this.
Favorite Scene / Quote/Concept:
This alternate history’s use of the colonization of America era and the interactions with the First Peoples is awesome.
The rooting out of the Curwen sect was well written. Very interesting. Loved the inclusion of Paul Revere, Aaron Burr, and George Washington.
Hmm Moments:
Great worldbuilding built on the foundation of real history and the Lovecraftian mythos.
