Title: The Day After Tomorrow
Author: Allan Folsom
Type: Conspiracy
Synopsis: (From the back cover)
In a Paris cafe, American surgeon Paul Osborn looks across the room and spots the man who murdered his fatehr thirty years before. In London, a grizzled L.A. homicide cop named McVey joins Scotland Yard to unravel the mystery of a severed head and seven headless corpses.
Neither American knows the link between the long-ago killing and the recent murders. But Paul's obsession to catch his father's killer will send him careening across Europe at breakneck speed, his life in the balance, his heart in the hands of a beautiful woman who may be his lover - or his downfall. Shadowing his every move is the relentless McVey. And haunting them both is a secret organization larger and more embracing than any the world has ever seen, preparing for an apocolypse to begin... The Day After Tomorrow.
Review:
This is definitely a thumbs-up. Clocking in at just over 700 pages, be sure to pick it up with plenty of time for reading over the next couple days because it's tough to put down.
The conspiracy (called "The Organization") applies nicely to the Karotechia. Though the Karotechia is unlikely to ever be as powerful and far reaching, it shares some ideology and many of the ideas will translate well.
While there were a few areas in the book filled with useless details that should have been trimmed, most of it was very exciting.
This book was recommended to me by the manager of a Barnes & Noble bookstore that I frequent. He's never steered me wrong, and he was really excited about this one. It's easy to see why.
Ratings: (1-5)
