In New Samarqand, trouble is brewing: The king is ill, without a successor & terrorist groups are plaguing the city-state. The National Museum is opening a new wing displaying the magnificent tomb of two Amazon sisters, who fell in battle together. Following parallel lines in this ominous labyrinth, a museum director, a police commissioner, a poet, a used-books seller & a secret agent from Planet X try to keep the pieces together and fight against the forces of chaos threatening their existence.
