Captain Solomon Kane is
a brutally efficient 16th Century killing machine. Armed with his signature
pistols, cutlass and rapier, he and his men unleash their bloodlust as they
fight for England in war after war on all continents.
As the story opens, Kane
and his band of pillagers are carving a bloody path through hordes of defenders
in an exotic city in northern Africa. But, when Kane decides to attack a
mysterious nearby castle to plunder its rumored riches, his mission takes a
fateful turn.
One by one, Kane's men are picked off by demonic creatures until
he alone is left to face the Devil's own Reaper--dispatched from the depths of
Hell to lay claim to his hopelessly corrupt soul. Though Kane at last manages
to escape, he knows that he now must redeem himself by renouncing violence and
devoting himself wholly to a life of peace and purity.
His newfound
spirituality, however, is quickly put to the ultimate test when he begins his
journey across an England ravaged by diabolical human Raiders controlled by a terrifying,
masked Overlord
