Summary
Thomas Harris: Hannibal: Birth of Evil
Guards in human form, wild hyenas of war, roam the Eastern Front. Hannibal survives the encounter with them: he stands in the snow, all alone, in front of the rushing tanks, while the cannons scatter the snow around him. The regions of his mind are more unusual than the ravaged and burnt forest and the atmosphere of bloody fog. Demons stalk the memory chambers of this brilliant orphan, eating away at him with fragments of a horrific past. If he could confront them in heart and mind, he could find them in flesh and blood, hunt them down, and secure some kind of peace. A beautiful and exotic woman lets him into her heart, uses every weapon and every trick at her disposal, to save him from evil, to restrain the terrible forces, unleashed by the first taste of Hannibal Lecter's blood.
