Realm Hunter Pursuit Of The Silver Dirk

Bear Waters, one of the top bounty hunters in the city of Northport, is in trouble. He is in pursuit of a mad cultist whom the Sheriff's Guard has called the Silver Dirk, after the weapon he uses to attack - but never kill - his victims. After some consultation, he has deduced that the Silver Dirk is preparing for an ancient ritual intended to summon the Elder Gods, those ancient beings of horror from primordial days. But in his pursuit, he - along with his friend and ally, Grace Hilltop of the Sheriff's Guard - has been transported to a world that we would find very familiar, but that they find amazing and unfamiliar. Getting home is but one issue facing Waters and Hilltop. They have to get home before the Silver Dirk can succeed in his plan, threatening the well-being of more than one world.

In this thrilling conclusion to the tale begun in Realm Hunter: Pursuit of the Silver Dirk, bounty hunter Bear Waters and his friends face new obstacles against an ever-approaching deadline. The group just learned that the Silver Dirk Cult's ritual to summon the Elder Gods is to happen much sooner than they'd thought. Now, after dealing with their Troglodyte captors and fighting unexpected creatures, they travel to World Three to meet Dr. Nick Silver and his team of high-class adventurers. Along the way, Bear and his friends battle ghouls, dinosaurs, enemy soldiers, aliens, and much more, gathering yet more much-needed allies in their quest to stop the Silver Dirk Cult. But will even that be enough to prevent the Elder Gods from returning to the known worlds, destroying civilization and enslaving humanity?

The two halves of the well-received first Realm Hunter story arc (Pursuit of the Silver Dirk and Trail of the Elder Gods) are brought together in a single volume. Bear Waters, a simple bounty hunter from the magic-laden city of Northport, discovers the existence of parallel worlds as he pursues the Silver Dirk, a mad cultist bent on bringing the Elder Gods back to not only his world, but also at least four others. All in one volume, this volume includes the modern "police procedural" investigations of World One, the magical adventures of World Two, the two-fisted pulp action of World Three, the prehistoric adventures of World Four, and the mysterious World Zero, as well as the Lovecraft-inspired horrors that Bear and his friends must battle. Throughout his travels, Bear gathers an ever-growing collection of new friends and allies, and battles a more varied collection of enemies than he'd ever imagined.
