 | | When Mongo is attacked by mysterious forces, Garth escapes with a homicidal maniac and surfaces in New York, heading a cult m that cares for the needy in an abandoned bathhouse. |
 | | Mongo and his six-foot-three-inch brother, Garth (retired NYPD detective) have been through two nightmares, described in "The Beasts of Valhalla" and "Two Songs This Archangel Sings, " that have left Garth in a coma, induced by poisoning with a rare, top secret chemical, usually used only by intelligence agents to mark clothing and objects. |
 | | Mongo practices his own unorthodox therapy in an attempt to get Garth to rejoin the world; he plays Garth unabridged recordings of the operas of Wagner's ring cycle, figuring that the associations with the Valhalla project will shake Garth out of his stupor if anything will. |
