Into the Labyrinth

The evil Belor returns again and Phil, summoned to the caves by a mysterious voice, is lured into Delta Time - an alternative history where fiction exists - by the unreliable magician Lazlo. Lazlo and Phil are soon dying of a disease, and the only hope rests in finding the scarabeaus. Their first trip takes them to Treasure Island and a skirmish with the pirates of John Silver.

Lazlo, as the incompetant chemist Dr Jekyll, plans to transform himself into the infamous Mr Hyde ... whilst Belor as Mrs Hyde takes control of Victorian London's criminal underworld.

Phil flies through time to find Lazlo as a seedy priest at the time of the Incas. They search for the scarabeaus in the legendary treasures of the sun worshippers and encounter Belor in the guise of an evil native princess in league with the Spanish Conquistadors.

Lazlo, as Thomas Farriner, has an angry mob on his heels when his baker's shop begins the Great Fire of London. Belor appears as a countess with magical powers known to the Lord Mayor himself, and seizes Lazlo's bracelet in order to stop Phil finding the scarabeaus.

Phil and Lazlo, now a ratcatcher, search the catacombs beneath the Paris Opera. Belor poses as a young girl abducted by the fabled Phantom of the Opera and finds the scarabeaus hidden in an unlikely place.

Phil arrives at the court of Kubla Khan in ancient China. Lazlo, as Marco Polo, struggles to regain the scarabeaus, but is denied posession by a rebellion led by Khan's son, Aybars with some aid from Belor.

Phil arrives in ancient Britain to find Lazlo in the guise of Merlin, the only one who knows the secret of Excalibur in the days when King Arthur's power is waning in the face of Belor's evil as Morgan Le Fay.
