Description
In the chilling and prophetic sequel to The Philodendrist Heresy, a year has passed since Danielle Gasket miraculously escaped the crypt nation-the subterranean dystopia where she was born. Now Danielle's fledgling skills in tracking and stealth are pitted against the machines and guns of the crypt nation. Ancient canisters of deadly substances have begun to leak, imperiling all life on the earth's surface.
Danielle must return to the crypt nation to find a fabled elixir, the technological antidote to the poisons. She descends into the underworld with Cougar, Panther, and Jaguar, the three brothers who have been teaching her how to survive in the wild. Though Danielle alone ascends again with the elixir, she bears a message from Panther: ¬"Our smoke does not rise to the heavens, but at least it perfumes a less odious hell."
