This time, Larry Brent, alias X-Ray-3, is not accompanied by the Chinese woman Su Hang (X-GIRL-G) but by Frank Gallun, alias X-Ray-2, who, together with his brother David Gallun (X-Ray-1), founded the PSA. Since Frank Gallun can only show himself in public to a limited extent, there are quite a few problems regarding entry into Egypt, where the "Parasitentod" takes place. On the other hand, his special condition also has advantages, for example during an attack. Why that is, you will learn in the first "Romantruhe" episode "Marmortod". So it is also beneficial to have listened to that episode. Before the question arises, "What do you learn from the second Romantruhe episode 'Gargoyle'?" I can weigh in that, in this case, nothing. Although both cases are written by Susanne Wilhelm, the other two cases, namely "Marmortod" and "Zombie - Insects", are by Christian Montillon. For "Parasitentod", Susanne Wilhelm has very well taken up the "Zombie - Insects" template and integrated it into her case, which also spans over 3 CDs or 165 minutes.
Dr. Tschang Fu and Richard Pertal simply cannot keep their hands off the insects, just like in the "Zombie - Insects". This time, however, it takes them to Cairo, a city with 8 million inhabitants, where they can abduct some Egyptians and Egyptian women undisturbed, who must serve as research subjects only to end up biting the dust. However, the corpses along with the many insects on them also catch the attention of the PSA, and the two X-Ray agents make their way to Cairo. Between the slums of Cairo, which increase the city's population to 18 million, and the pyramids, Larry Brent and Frank Gallun then experience a crawling inferno along with two demonic scientists.
Despite a runtime of 2 ¾ hours, it never gets boring; however, there is one part, just before the end of "Parasitentod", that I do not understand. Why is Dr. Tschang Fu struggling against his insects at the hell gate? Aren't they supposed to be a team?!?
And why is this episode so obviously referencing the previous episodes? Is the intention to promote the old "new" episodes to boost sales?
And then this price for the 3 CDs, I consider it too high, even though the story, the speakers, the sound, and the cover are great. Only the booklet is again very meager this time. Therefore, I can only give it 8 points.
