A serial killer stalks the streets of New York. A strange child shows up at a monastery in 8th century Isle of Wight (England). A secret so profound that Churchill wanted no part of it, Truman took it on with great trepidation, and is now hidden in a U.S. government laboratory beneath the Nevada desert. How could these elements all be connected?

It would be difficult enough for a seasoned author to pull it off, but coming from a first-timer it's pretty astonishing. This is a story where the ideas fly as thick and fast as the bullets, and you will stay up half the night to see how it ends.

As impossible to guess the ending as it is to put down, this book creates a fully realised world with three dimensional characters, thought-provoking ideas and a secret that will blow you away. Trilogy completed by Book of the Dead and The Tenth Chamber, which I am looking forward to reading over the summer.

A new Author and his first book hit a winner in my opinion. Some critics panned it, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The story is a bit fractured because it jumps from present day to 700 AD to fill out the story, but even those side trips are interesting.

"The Doomsday Killer", has claimed six deaths in just two weeks. the people of New York city are up in arms and the police are stumped. The victims appear to have nothing in common, and the only thing that appears to connect them is a postcard with a coffin drawn on it, and the date of their death. An FBI agent, Will Piper, a burned out drunk on the edge of retirement is tossed this puzzle.

There is a closely guarded secret about an underground library on the Isle of Wight that may hold secrets that will change the world.
