Fact, fiction and conspiracy theories collide in this tightly drawn thriller.
Without any preexisting health concerns, a man wakes up in a hotel room covered in a sheen of his own blood. In another corner of the globe, eight individuals are simultaneously paralyzed with no identifiable clinical cause. An American scientist is left to die in the streets of a small town not far from Rome. Professor Thomas Elliot Ashcroft, Chair of the Yale Uni Bio-engineering department, is set to retire when he is brutally attacked in his office. Barely escaping with her life, his assistant Abriana is given a strange relic and the strict directive, “You need to go to Boston and find Gareth Blackwell.” Abriana and Gareth are unwittingly forced into a secret world of hidden clues and life-and-death puzzles set behind the scenes of the Catholic Church and clandestine societies that linger in dark places. Bridger J. Morgon, director of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, doesn’t like the sinister implications of these incidents. With Abriana and Gareth’s help, Morgon will stop at nothing to prevent an even bigger threat from taking shape. Together, the trio will uncover mysteries that could reshape the future of humanity.
Fact, fiction and conspiracy theories collide in this tightly drawn thriller by D.W. Eamer. With its heavy religiosity, rich historicity and complex plot, it is impossible not to compare The SATAN Gene to The Davinci Code, and Dan Brown fans won’t be disappointed! Readers will enjoy deciphering the puzzles, discovering the truth hidden in the lies and locating the clues planted in plain sight. Although the narrative opens in dramatic fashion, Eamer eases up on the pace as he adds in plenty of ecclesiastical history and elaborate detail, making for a story that is as intellectual as it is intense. Hidden tunnels, forgotten languages, a terrorist group with religion as their armor, church secret societies, biological terrorism, and geopolitical manipulation are certain to keep readers on the edge of their seats. Scholarly and stimulating, The SATAN Gene is a meaty novel you’ll love to bite into.
