In the aftermath of the Russian Revolution and the First World War, Corto Maltese is engaged by the Red Lanterns--a Chinese secret society made up entirely of women--to find an armored train laden with gold that belonged to the last Russian Tsar, Nicholas II. They aren't the only ones lusting after the treasure. The adventure, which shifts from the hidden courts of Venice to the mysterious alleys of Hong Kong, from Shanghai to Manchuria and Mongolia to Siberia, also attracts regular and irregular armies, as well as revolutionaries and counter-revolutionaries. The sweeping plot allows Pratt to fully investigate the complicated and competing motivations of his cast that includes the return of Rasputin and the introduction of the cold and dangerous Duchess Marina Seminova, the enigmatic warrior/spy named Shanghai-Lil, and historical figures such as the 'Mad Baron' Roman Ungern-Sternberg, a Russian general who who sees himself as the modern-day Genghis Khan!'"--Amazon.com. 546 $a English translation of French original. 650 0 $a Corto Maltese (Fictitious character) $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Adventure and adventurers $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Sailors $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Voyages and travels $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Armored trains $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Treasure troves $v Comic books, strips, etc. 651 0 $a Siberia (Russia) $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Graphic novels $z Italy $v Translations into English. 655 7 $a Action and adventure comics. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026216 655 7 $a Graphic novels. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026362 720 $a Pratt, Hugo 720 $a Pratt, Hugo, $e conservator. 700 1 $a Mullaney, Dean, $d 1954- $e book designer. $e editor, $e book designer. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2010094218 700 1 $a Castaldi, Simone, $e translator. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2010021916 800 1 $a Pratt, Hugo. $t Corto Maltese ; $v 7. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2012073547 941 $a 2 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006104556.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171229053419.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B2091EEAEC6A11E7AF65C16E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
