GLOBAL CONFLICT BATTLES INNER TURMOIL AS MICHAEL CROW TRIES TO MAKE SENSE OF THE VIOLENCE AND DESTRUCTION. CORPORATE POWER PLAYS AND THE SECRET AGENDA OF WORLD GOVERNMENT?S ARE THE PUPPET MASTER STRINGS THAT ENTANGLE HIM. Just an ordinary citizen, leading an ordinary life, Michael Crow finds himself at the centre of civilisation in total meltdown. The neighbourhood has gone mad. The city has gone mad. And the world has gone mad. In the middle of it all, are the victims, the ordinary people. They are bashed, raped, pillaged and murdered. Entire countries suffer the same fate as world governments scramble to divide and control the remaining natural resources, including the vast reserves of human body parts. From Australia to Africa, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, China and Korea, we see how greed brings humanity to its knees, for the final showdown. But not before Crow unleashes his grand solution. Gone are the days of up close and personal warfare, Crow directs his invisible gene altering warriors from the comfort of his observatory command console, perched high on a storm ravaged cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. But the price Crow pays for saving the world is not just his life, it?s his soul... And it?s a hard, it?s a hard, it?s a hard, it?s a hard, It?s a hard rain?s a-gonna fall. ?Gripping storytelling, frighteningly realistic and ultimately unnerving as the boundaries of thriller/ horror/science are pushed to new limits. Move over Dan Brown and Michael Crichton, there?s a new a kid in town.? H A R D R A I N A Techno-thriller © Manfred Pichler 2012
