In volume two, when alien invaders from Mars mercilessly attack London, the throne quickly calls upon Allan Quatermain, Mina Harker, Captain Nemo, the Invisible Man, and Dr. Jekyll to protect the empire. Using their various skills and intellect, the League goes about preparing a defense against the invasion but when the Invisible Man joins the Martian's cause, all appears to be lost. Now, as one of the members dies a horrific death, the League turns to the legendary Dr. Moreau as their last desperate hope. 6156668 1 9 2003 The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Vol. 2 total:2725|5:761|4:1057|3:707|2:158|1:42| 2725 10512 3254 141 107007 1401201180 9781401201180 2613 132 3.86 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1217490093m/107007.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/107007.The_League_of_Extraordinary_Gentlemen_Vol_2 4 1 false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Tue Nov 06 07:30:35 -0800 2007 Tue Nov 06 07:41:47 -0800 2007
