The Serpent Wand

John Broughton

Sinossi

A sinister Masonic-Templar organization - The Brotherhood Of The Wand - is planning to bring the world to its knees and create a dystopian one-government world. The price? 80% of the world's population.
 
To achieve this aim, they are planning to harness ley lines and other ancient earth energies to reawaken the Serpent: a mythical creature known to all early civilisations by different names. On the winter solstice at Avebury, an apocalyptic event is to take place... and to trigger the next ice age.
 
The last line of defense against the evil organization is Jake Conley - a psychic investigator with powers of retrocognition, shapeshifting and intuition. But to survive and save the world from the insane plot, he will have to overcome the greatest challenge of his life.

J. H. Gelernter

A taut historical thriller for fans of The Queen's Gambit and James Bond. 
 
 
 
December 1803: A French invasion fleet is poised to cross the Channel and storm the beaches of southern England. A member of Napoleon's inner circle—disaffected by Napoleon's creeping tyranny—contacts the British naval intelligence service in hopes of defecting to London. His escape plan calls for a rendezvous at an international chess tournament in Frankfurt—a rare opportunity for him to travel outside France. Naval intelligence sends its top man—and best chess player—Captain Thomas Grey, to orchestrate the Frenchman's escape to England. But Grey's mission changes dramatically when the defector demands that his pro-Napoleon daughter come with him—expecting Grey to act not just as escort but kidnapper. 
 
 
 
The second novel in J. H Gelernter's already lauded Captain Grey series, Captain Grey's Gambit continues a story that is "smart, fast, twisty, and dangerous" (Lee Child) in a "richly imagined early nineteenth-century world" (Richard Snow).
