Description
Hercules, the son of Zeus, crushed monsters, giants, and legendary warriors in combat. Until one challenge remains: The harrowing underworld, the place where strength does not matter. Against the greatest monsters that classical literature and Saberhagens imagination could create, Hercules struggles come vividly to life in his fight to the death, against Death itself.Tags
