Indy once again finds himself on a top-secret mission to broker peace. This time Indy heads into Istanbul where he poses as a Swedish journalist to make connections with future revolutionary leader Mustafa Kemal (Atatürk). Danger surrounds this tale of espionage as everyone who touches Indy’s letter of peace seems to mysteriously die. After Istanbul, Indy heads into Transylvania where the inexplicable General Targo is raiding POW camps and senselessly killing allied prisoners. Indy investigates and quickly suspects that the General's lust for stakes may not be the only thing he has in common with the infamous Vlad the Impaler. Blood, obscurity, and not quite dead soldiers surround this dark and scary tale of the immortal Dracula.

DescriptorFormed in 1300 by Osman I, the Ottoman Empire spanned three continents at the peak of its power and connected the Western world to the East. By the mid-1800's the Empire was falling victim to a growing sense of Nationalism and many of its provinces were revolting for independence. In 1914, the Ottomans joined in an alliance with Germany and fell into WWI. The allied victory in the Fall of 1918 sealed the fate of the dying empire and the Middle East was reforged into the chaotic and unbalanced area we know to this day.

DescriptorKnown traditionally as Vlad the Impaler, his blood lust led to the myth and legend of Dracula. Vlad Dracul III served as a Romanian prince under Ottoman rule in the late 1400's. The history of Vlad is often mixed with legend and fact. Many accounts report Prince Dracul as a just lawmaker, while other accounts speak of terrible brutality. It is true, however, that Vlad's favorite form of torture was impaling his victims with stakes. Death often came within a few hours, but for some victims it took days to succumb.
