About the book: 1989 / “Wings in the Night” Fleeing from the pursuit of cannibal blacks, Solomon Kane comes to a strange valley at the foot of unknown mountains. The few inhabitants of the valley are dying out, suffering from terrible winged creatures. “The old pagan legend turned out to be true, Kane thought, stunned by the surging guesses. If the myth of the harpies turned out to be true, what about the rest - the Hydra, the centaurs, the Chimera, Medusa, the Lords and the satyr? Maybe all the ancient legends telling about monsters with fangs and claws, nightmares of evil, are true? O Africa, the Dark Continent, the land of shadows and fears, monsters of darkness that fled here from the north.” Kane unwittingly finds himself drawn into a battle with these creatures. “The Flame of Ashurbanipal” Two adventurers - an Afghan and an American - team up to search in the endless desert for the ancient Assyrian city of Kara-Shehr. When there is no longer any water in their flasks and their camels have died, they see a mirage city in the distance. But they have pursuers who want to take possession of the jewel - a stone named after the Flame of Ashurbanipal.
