More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
In the near future, a documentary film-maker is covering mercenaries engaged in corporate espionage. A nervous executive wants to smuggle stolen data to Cairo. Yet events rapidly and frighteningly escalate out of control. The film-maker finds himself battling for his life and his sanity as a new and dramatic story unfolds, dragging him across the globe...and beyond. Fascist extremists, Islamic terrorists, corrupt government officials and a religious sect that worships a nefarious avatar of a many-faced God of the Outer Void, become fused into a gruesome knot of lies, treachery and mass-murder. David J Rodger’s trademark gut-wrenching rendering of a dark and edgy reality, and relentless narrative pace, are here in palm-sweating abundance, delivered in a tense action-packed novel that plunges you uncomfortably deep into crawling chaos festering and feeding on the membrane of human existence.

I bought this book wanting a holiday read - the type of book that I can pick up, read a chapter, put down, and pick up again later.
I did not get what I wanted - David J Rodger's fiction is not written to read one chapter at a time. Each chapter leaves you on the egde of a cliff, too afraid to look over, but compelled against your will to do so.
A clever blend of Lovecraft influence, the desire for power, the fear of being in too deep, and a clevrly woven plot, intertwining characters each with a different agenda - all coming together for a terrifying and gripping climax.
This is the first book in what will hopefully and surely be a long and exciting career enjoyed by David J Rodger's new fans.

David Rodger has created a World where Lovecraft's mythos enters the near future. This, one of a trilogy of novels that he has set in a Gibsonesque environ, is a fulfilling piece of sci-fi horror, something that he evokes well. You can see the inspiration of Alien, beefed up with some Andy McNab-style action. The narrative sometimes sacrifices depth for pace, but is ultimately a fulfilling read. If you like Philip K Dick, or indeed William Gibson, and enjoyed some of Lovecraft's genre, this will definitely appeal.
Format:Kindle Edition
This novel moves along at a fast pace, crossing genres from crime/political thriller to sci-fi and full blown horror... My heart thumped as, halfway through a gory scene, an electric power cut plunged me into pitch blackness and I scrambled to find a torch wondering what might be lurking in the dark... You're constantly kept guessing as you follow the main characters on their global journey to the final destination. A really entertaining read but not for the faint-hearted.
