Sepulchre

Самый свирепый и жестокий бог шумеров Мардук в наказание за беспредельную жажду крови был брошен в глубочайшее подземелье. Минули века, но сердце Мардука осталосьживым и по-прежнему кипело злобой. Однажды юный искатель приключений Феликс Клин вместе с археологами проник в древнее шумерское захоронение и, услышав зов черногосердца, помог ужасному богу вернуться, дабы тот даровал ему бессмертие, оплаченное чужими жизнями.

Herbert James

Herbert James VC (30 November 1888 – 15 August 1958) was an English recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.

He was 26 years old, and a Second Lieutenant in the 4th Battalion, The Worcestershire Regiment, British Army during the First World War when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the VC.

On 28 June 1915 in the southern zone of Gallipoli, when the advance of part of the regiment had been checked, Second-Lieutenant James, from a neighbouring unit, gathered together a body of men and led them forward under heavy fire. He then returned, organised a second party and again advanced, putting fresh life into the attack. On 3 July he headed a party of bomb throwers up a Turkish communication trench and when all his party had been killed or wounded, he remained alone, under murderous fire and kept back the enemy until a barrier had been built behind him and the trench secured.

He later achieved the rank of Major.
