Spectros #2: Hunt the Beast Down (1981) by Logan Winters (Paul Lederer) Hunt the Beast Down is the second book in the Spectros series, focusing on a master magician in the old west. Over the course of the series, the aged Spectros is continually chasing down the evil Blackshuster, a rival wizard who has kept our main character’s lifelong love, Kristin, in suspended animation in a crystal coffin for decades. In this addition to the series, Spectros has tracked Blackshuster to the Oregon coast. Here the evil magician plans to loot a shipwreck, hoping to obtain the silver he needs to maintain Kristin’s comatose state. Spectros arrives with his cohorts—dashingly handsome gunslinger Ray Featherskill, the ageless Moor, Inkada, and Montak, a mute hulking giant. Mixed into all of this is a female ranch owner being forced off her land in order for our villain and his entourage to have unfettered access to the shipwreck. Our heroes decide to help this love
