( ) fter Harry Buckingham's father is killed in a freak accident, other people that he knows start dying in bizarre ways and pieces of paper bearing undecipherable messages in strange angular characters are found on some of their bodies. A multinational company has merged ancient magic with a high-tech delivery system and is putting it to sinister use. Harry has to join forces with a motley group of people including a female truck-driver, the librarian of a collection of books about magic and the occult, a nine-year-old hacker and some rather unusual policemen in order to work out what is going on. Dans tout Londres des gens sont victimes d'accidents aussi bizarres que sanglants. On retrouve sur leurs corps d'étranges bandes de papier couvertes de hiérogliphes indéchiffrables. Harry Buckingham, un publicitaire, se trouve plongé au coeur du mystère. Plusieurs de ses proches meurent de manière atroce. Bientôt soupçonné, il lui faut fuir la police et mener sa propre enquête. Il découvre avec stupeur qu'une multinationale a réussi à combiner l'antique magie des runes et l'informatique la plus sophistiquée. Le diable a lancé une OPA sauvage sur la société industrielle et ses techniques de marketing sont d'une redoutable efficacité. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
London is in the grip of an epidemic. Across the city, people are dying in freak accidents. There doesn't seem to be much of a connection, until some of the bodies yield puzzling strips of paper. Each one carries angular, indecipherable hieroglyphics. Advertising executive Harry Buckingham, to his horror, is linked with several of the victims. His father, his secretary, even the thief who steals his car all die in horrific circumstances. Soon he's avoiding the police and following his own investigation. What he uncovers is more frightening than anyone can imagine. A multinational company has succeeded in combining sophisticated technology with ancient mythology. Harry calls it pure evil. The devil is loose in London. And only a handful of people know enough to stop the most hostile take-over bid of all time... Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
