A strange object crashes in a field behind the Half Moon Inn. Soon after, two barmaids vanish without a trace, drawing the attention of local reporter Jan Barnes. Increasingly strange events lead Jan to team up with enigmatic paranormal investigator Gregory Houseman. Seeking answers, the two enter a disturbing world of government conspiracy and terrifying forces beyond their comprehension. Can they find a way to reveal the truth - and live to tell the tale? This is the large print edition of Time Of The Demon, with a larger font / typeface for easier reading.
Not my usual genre but found it an interesting and entertaining read. What if UFOs were real, but instead of being aliens they were a way for demons to walk the earth? Definitely kept me turning pages as I wanted to know what happened next. Enjoyed it a lot.
An entertaining story, made even more intriguing by authors Ian and Rosi Taylor's claim that it's based on actual events. Personally, I find that hard to believe, but I'll keep an open mind.
It begins on a sci-fi theme, with a mysterious white light in the sky, which appears to crash-land, witnessed by two pub workers who later vanish.
The usual characters emerge into the story - an intrepid newspaper reporter determined to get a scoop, and police and military types bent on covering it up - and I thought we were in line for a standard tale of UFOs bringing visiting or invading aliens.
Not a bit of it, though. Because this is where one of the characters reveals himself to be a paranormal investigator, and the story moves from sci-fi to the horror of demons and alternative worlds layered upon our own. As the demons' plans for our world unfold, we're taken on a desperate ride to save civilisation.
Apart from the occasional instance of multiple POVs in the same scene, Time Of The Demon is well-written, creating likeable characters and vividly-described demons, with a well-constructed plot that moves along at a good pace throughout the book's entirety.
It gets my recommendation for reading, along with four well-deserved stars. But, based on actual events? Well, I'll take the authors' word for that.
When a strange light falls from the sky, roving reporter Jan Barnes thinks her luck is in. She must be in for a major media scoop as she is the only reporter around. However, when her only two witnesses to the weird light phenomenon disappear without a trace, Jan is plunged into a world of Demons, Extra-terrestrials and conspiracy theories where she doesn´t know who - or what - she can trust.
This thought provoking book forces the reader to consider the existence of other life forms living amongst us, Governments corrupting the press. and the theory that perhaps aliens are hiding in plain sight. As we follow Jan and her new friend, Greg, a paranormal investigator on an adventure to discover the truth. This is a well written, deeply reflective book that is well worth a read.
