Book Synopsis
Paris, 2037. Alexandre Lamarque of the French external security service is hunting for eco-terrorists.

But he can’t.
In search of the truth, Alex must follow the trail through an ominous spiral of events, from a string of brutal child murders to a chaotic coup in North Africa. He rapidly finds himself in a heart-thumping race against chaos and destruction. He could be the world’s only hope of preventing THE COMING DARKNESS . .
