The war between magic and science for the control of immortality reaches a surreal, fever pitch, as a near death experience propels Necropolis into a parallel world where he learns the dark secrets of his twisted family tree The revelations leave him shocked, wondering if he can escape the family legacy of self-destruction in the name of ambition, or is he simply a cog in a greater cosmic machine, controlled by supernatural forces?

In 1918, Aleister Crowley announced that he was leaving New York to go on a ''Magical Retirement''. With his last cent he bought fifty gallons of paint, a large rope and a ticket on a boat going up the Hudson to Oesopus Island. What are you going to eat? asked his friends as he embarked. My children replied Crowley in his most pontifical manner. Oesopus Island has dangerous cliffs on both sides and passengers of passing river-boats were amazed to find, written on the cliffs in red letters ten foot tall: DO WHAT THOU WILT SHALL BE THE LAW Above on the cliffs in meditation sat the tiny figure of Aleister Crowley. His head was shaved except for one forelock which was kept in honour of the phallus. During these meditations he acquired a magical memory to recall his previous lives. The earliest in time was Ko Hsuen, a Chinese sage who had been a disciple of Lao Tse, the great figure of Taoism. Immediately before his present life he had been the French magician Eliphas Levi. On the day of his return to New York, thinner and with a sun tan, he was treated by a friend to lunch at the Plaza Grill. He had whitebait, steak tartare and cream cake, followed by a cigar and Napoleon Brandy. He ate the meal in the secure knowledge that after his death he would return again! Now a CONTROVERSIAL motion picture

40 years have passed since the release of PIECE OF MIND. More than an album, it was a thunderous statement of intent by a band whose meteoric rise from the East End of London would propel them to the world stage, thrusting them into the realms of legend. This commemorative tome, containing comics, art, and remembrances from acclaimed writers, artists, musicians and storytellers, is a powerful celebration of the unparalleled vision which inspired them -- the living legend that is IRON MAIDEN.
