Book Description
As chilling as Stephen King as credible as Michael Crichton - a gripping novel of terror and suspense
Product Description
Monty Bannerman's father is a leading genetic scientist, and Nobel Prize winner, whose company has just been taken over by what will soon be the world's biggest pharmaceutical giant. He had some misgivings about their company ethics - but ultimately, he needs their money, and they need his mind. Then a journalist comes to Monty's door, with a far-fetched story about the pharmaceutical company. She doesn't believe what she's being told for a moment - but within a few short weeks, events are making the apparently fantastic claims look horrifyingly like the truth.

Format:Paperback
I started reading this book on a flight from Bangkok to London and was dreading the 17hr flight, but this book took me away to another world. It's suspenseful and creative in so many ways. Monty Bannerman is a real character and draws you into a world of greed, cover-up's and bloodshed.
Truly outstanding!!! This man Peter James is the dog's nuts and I wait impatiently for his next release. Bring it on Pete, let's see if you can make my mind spin again???

I bought Alchemist on holiday in 1996, and could not put it down for a second. I have just had to buy another copy as the original one eventually fell to pieces. What can I say, breathtaking writing, a superb plot. Well done Mr James, I'm impressed.

I read a lot of books and usually review them. This is the first book I have given 5 stars to this year. Being my first Peter James novel I initially chose to read this based on the other reviews on Amazon. How right they were. A real page turner. This will certainly not be my last book by this author and I would suggest you order this book IMMEDIATELY !.

Scary stuff!
This is an excellent thriller, if not tad grisly in places. The pace is fast, some of the characters are just plain evil. Read more

Lengthy conspiracy thriller

A bone chilling story, real perhaps?
This is the first time I feel I should write a few coments about a truly fantastic story.
At first I didn't much go for the satan story line. But I did continue with the book. Read more
