Overview

It's 2012 and mankind is faced with unprecedented social unrest. World governments try desperately to come up with a solution to avoid meltdown. But Rui Medusa thinks differently - his Project Genesis, based on the story of the flood, thinks that the world can be cleansed of sin so that mankind can start again.

As if it wasn't bad enough that the Mayan Calendar is due to end in 2012, Satan's Alternative also provides a set of baddies that would give James Bond a run for his money. Our heroes find themselves fighting against guns, genetically modified horrors and a killer pandemic. The story races from the explosive fate of politicians to apparently unrelated disappearances in the Welsh countryside to wartime secrets in London. It's enough to make anyone laugh maniacally whilst stroking a white cat. A secret has been buried in rural Wales, a secret so terrible that people have died before they can share their knowledge with the outside world. Layers of secrets hide one behind the other and no one seems to know how deeply they are stacked and how wide the organisation's tentacles reach. People living in the nearby village don't talk about the compound, even when their children start to go missing. Even when there's something in the woods that stacks human skulls in neat piles. Jared Hunter, with his friends and confidants, begin to investigate the disappearances - but it becomes more personal when his daughter is kidnapped and brought into the fight. His daughter's heritage makes her precious to more than just Jared. Gradually they realise they may be dealing with the fate of humanity itself. The book is peppered with biblical references, used by both the good guys and the bad, the relevance of which only becomes clear when it's almost too late. The innocuous becomes deadly and no one knows who or what they can trust anymore. I do have to mention the errors in spelling and grammar. But a thriller should be read quickly, skating over such minutiae. And this one certainly covers a lot of territory before the climactic end.
