Serenade for Cerberus (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781837947980)

Come aboard the tramp steamship Venture as crew for a journey into the surreal underworld and onto the River Styx. Serenade for Cerberus is an epic romantic fantasy blending nautical intrigue, romance, and a voyage into Hell and Hades, where conflict between the two decides the fate of ship and crew. The Port of Martinez Junction is home and the start of our paranormal adventure. Its commissioners have directed the Venture, famed for bringing back a subdued giant ape, to carry out an even more audacious task: capture Cerberus, the mythical three- headed guardian of the gates of Hades. The crew begins their underworld mission with a shore leave in Hell and find that a now feral Cerberus must be retrieved from the Hadean wilderness. This expedition is undertaken despite the two devils managing Hell bent on making the Venture a soul ferry, witches and imps wanting to seduce our humans, and the goddess of the River Styx having her own agenda. A war between Hades and Hell involving our crew is the result. Can the Venture defy all odds to return with Cerberus or will it succumb to the black river of hate, crew lost forever in the Hades versus Hell war. Welcome to the underworld.
