The Good, The Mad and The Undead — Rob Knipe

Having remained in hiding for two long months, Mallik is starting to get itchy feet, and his urges for adventure are ending in increasingly violent outbursts. The two men he is living with, the distinctly normal Sok Lard, and a vampire Jack Von Hellsprung, raised as an experiment by the world famous vampire-hunter Edwin Von Hellsprung, find themselves exiled from S'Ville after one bar-fight too many and a small scuffle with the Watch. With nowhere to go and still separated from Dick and Jules, Mallik decides to finish a job he failed years before, and takes Sok and Jack to the castle of Max Von Mähmaschine, a powerful Vampire Mage, to search for a scroll, inadvertently introducing Jack to his long lost father. As Mallik realises the folly of returning to the place that had defeated him once before, he must struggle to make a man of Sok, rescue two damsels in distress and pray to Gryke that the pirate they left in charge of their stolen vessel is still waiting for them at the jetty.
