Book description
When a sudden burst of radiation is detected beneath the desert in
Iran, the world’s spy agencies are immediately on alert.
Alex Hunter, code name Arcadian, and his elite incursion team are
dropped into the ruins of Persepolis. There they find an underground
facility but nothing else - no weapons, no scientists - nothing to
explain the gamma spike. It is as if a black hole has swept everything
away . . . Meanwhile, Israel is threatening nuclear war, and the details
of America’s Arcadian program have been stolen. And someone - or
something - is draining the fluids from the bodies of Iranian soldiers
in the desert. If a black hole had taken everything, could something
possibly have come back?
When another radiation ‘event’ occurs in Iran, it is clear that
something extraordinary is happening. Something that has been warned of
in ancient prophecies.
Alex must follow the traces of radiation to the ancient caves of Arak.
In these tunnels, he will come face to face with his darkest nightmares.
The clock is ticking down to what is told to be the end of the world and
the ultimate judgement of humankind . . . Greig Beck grew up across
the road from Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. His early days were
spent surfing, sunbaking and reading science fiction on the sand. When
he was forced to grow up, he went on to study computer science, and
later received an MBA. Greig is the director of a software company but
still finds time to write and surf. He lives in Vaucluse, Sydney, with
his wife, son and an enormous black German shepherd.
Dark Rising
is Greig's second novel.
