The vast catacombs were built before the military&#8217;s biological weapon leaked out, killing nine out of ten people and leaving the survivors so traumatized that they can barely tolerate each other&#8217;s company. So it&#8217;s quite peculiar that some government agents seem to think that Sam lives with a woman, Despoina, who&#8217;s suspected of conducting germ warfare. Pressured by the agents to locate Despoina, Sam must literally go underground to discover the truth about a hidden world of witchcraft and secret rituals.<\/p>\n<p>This Wiccan-themed science fiction novel was cited by Gary Gygax as an inspiration for Dungeons &amp; Dragons. Sharp-eyed gamers will certainly see similarities between St. Clair\u2019s world and Gygax\u2019s Castle Greyhawk with its labyrinthine setting of multiple levels connected by secret passages.<\/p>\n<p>Welcome to the Sanctum Secorum podcast.
