Publisher's Summary:
The much anticipated final instalment in the apocalyptic trilogy by Simon Toyne, best-selling author of Sanctus.
A cyber-attack on NASAs deep space search for the origins of the universe destroys the program and delivers a grave warning: Mankind Must Look No Further. Rookie FBI Agent Joseph Shepherd has the unique skills needed to investigate the breach. But hes also hiding a secret of his own.
Former New York crime reporter Liv Adamsens life has led her from the Turkish city of Ruin to an abandoned oil field in the Syrian Desert. An oasis grows around her new home but the desert is a hostile place, and danger draws ever closer.
Charity worker Gabriel Mann abandoned Liv to protect her from the disease that is killing him. But this terrible plague, born in Ruins ancient Citadel, has already started to spread.
Across the globe, strange weather phenomena and mass migrations are a sign that some great event is upon us. Revelation is coming: But will it be a new beginning or the End of Days?
Critic Reviews:
Praise for Sanctus: "A cool, confident debutwith pace, grace, and a keen eye for cinematic effect." (Daily Telegraph)
"Intriguing and engagingrelentless pace. An exciting and interesting read. I look forward to returning to Ruin, where there are plenty of stories waiting to be told." (The Sun)
"High-concept, debut conspiracy thrillers dont come with higher expectations than this. Hard to think of it as a debut, better to think of it as the beginning of a massive new adventure, and a so-long to Dan Brown." (Mirror)
Members Reviews:
Excellent third book of trilogy.
I have really enjoyed listening to all three books, I found the story imaginative, different, well written. The narrator is superb and I shall be looking for other books read by Mr Keeble. I am sorry that it has come to an end and will definitely listen to it again. Thank you To Mr Toyne and Mr Kebble..
So good I went looking for more....
This is a fitting climax to the trilogy. I listened to the very last part on a long 4 hour car journey late at night arriving with 30 minutes still left. Just had to listen to the end before finally turning the lights out! Jonathan Keeble is absolutely amazing. We now search for him as narrator as much as by author (which is how we found Simon Toyne). Was so disappointed that there isn't anything else by Simon Toyne yet.
Caveat Emptor
I have been eagerly awaiting the last book in the author's Citadel trilogy, and I have not been disappointed in any way.
The main characters around whom the story winds are all there, no one has been omitted or moved into the background. This book brings all the remaining threads of the story so far, together with the mysteries left hanging at the climaxes if the first two parts.
My only criticisms, if they can be referred to as such, are the absence of the Goth pathologist and the voice of Athenasius. The latter is my main gripe as the narrator has read all three of the books and all the voices of all the other main characters are exactly same, leading to a seamless continuation. This isn't really a criticism, however, just my own "taste and fancy" coming to the fore.
