Zkratka Ú. P. V. O. znamená Úřad paranormálního výzkumu a obrany, ke kterému patřil i Hellboy, ale ten z něj před časem odešel. V této knize se setkáte s ostatními členy týmu: Abe Sapienem, Liz Shermanovou, Rogerem Homunkulem a doktory Manningem a Corriganovou. A dozvíte se jaké případy řeší, když tam není Hellboy. Pod hladinou zrádných jižních moří a v podzemí zpustošeného kláštera Abe Sapien a další podivní agenti Ú. P. V. O. odhalují tajemství šílených vědců, kostlivců, toužících se vrátit domů, a dokonce i vrakoviště ve středu Země.

In the successful tradition of Thomas Cahill's modern-day classic, How the Irish Saved Civilization , here is an authoritative and completely engaging one-volume account of Irish history by County Limerick native, gifted storyteller, and bestselling author Malachy McCourt. Its pages are populated with figures from myth, legend, ancient history, and current events, from Cu Chulainn and Brian Boru to Oliver Cromwell, James Joyce, Lady Gregory, Gerry Adams, and Sinead O'Connor—some beloved, some controversial, but all with an undeniable influence on the course of Irish history and in turn, the history of the modern world. McCourt proves an irresistible guide on this vivid tour through the colorful and turbulent history of the Emerald Isle, from the Celtic settlements, through Viking and British occupations, modern troubles and struggle for independence. He also offers fresh insights on the country's cultural contributions to folklore, literature, art, music, and cuisine.
