Description
DESTROYER OF WORLDS Man's reign is through. Universal laws are breaking in the cosmos with the coming of the dark lords to the world of man. It is they who intend to complete GOD'S CHAIN and become a God of gods, destroyer of worlds. Professor Mancini expedition leader is top of his game, he has discovered the legendary Vale of MalisIblis where a lost temple exists and already entered the temple after a horrific human sacrifice. He believes it holds a mythical and priceless artefact called "The Key of the Gods of Seven Rays". This is a large golden disk, a legend believed by ancient tribes in South America that will open a portal to the Gods. Harjit Singh is a medical student and is promoted by the professor to lead her team through the upper temple while he explores the lower levels. She soon becomes lost and in critical danger, chased by a hideous monster. This is the time of the prophecy, perfect for the arrival of Lord Smite, first of the dark Lords. Smite with a brutal army from another world has come to take the link of power, conquer and then consume all life on Earth. His forces immediately put siege onto the defending temple garrison. The defenders are shocked at fighting the impossible, then stunned even more at seeing a new super-being as mighty as Smite! GOD'S CHAIN holds the power to all existence. Excerpt: "Help us!" Harjit pleaded loudly. "This is the home of Shiva the Destroyer, an awful and evil place." Harjit's crazy vision turned any doubt of getting away unscathed into grim reality. "He is alive!" Then she gasped in horror. "Chris, look! That's not him, there's something lying ON HIM!" Harjit froze. Instinctively she did not want to get any closer to him. "It must be that thing I saw!" "What is it?" Christopher begged, bleary-eyed and not realising their danger. "Look on top of Cesare! Shiva! Some giant insect is on his back Christopher!" Christopher stared wildly at the sickly-looking creature on top of him. "In the name of God," Christopher stated and uncertain of what he was looking at, blinking hard to clear his eyes from dust. Something silvery-white was on him, providing an excellent camouflage for the creature. They could see its six short scaly legs, each making a clicking noise. Everyone felt sick while gasping in the dust. The thing began slowly crawling over Cesare, fixing itself on top of him. The creature had numerous tiny white albino eyes positioned all over its oval casing. Its hard exoskeleton showed a multitude of small sharp jaggy peaks used for protection. It seemed to be calculating their threat, studying them in fine detail. Moving a little on the man, it stopped. Then its surface began changing colour from white into bright pink. It had stuck itself solidly onto the man's back. Cesare shivered a little, moaning involuntarily and said nothing. Everyone looked desperately at each other then the man lay quiet and very still. All in a state of shock, watching as his body gradually became FOSSILISED.
GOD'S CHAIN is a dark fantasy that is told in a series of books. The story is an epic dark fantasy that starts quietly 300 years ago in a remote village in the west of Scotland, as told in GENESIS, the first book in GOD'S CHAIN. The story moves to modern-day where the layers of deceit man will go to obtain ultimate power is slowly unraveled. The pace picks up with deaths at the Vatican Bank by those people who want this godly power of cosmic proportions for themselves. DEVILS'S TEMPLE is the next link and second book in the chain and is the sequel to GENESIS in GOD'S CHAIN. It is a dark tale of fate and legend, of feared words spoken in whispers of power and mystery. There is a hidden valley inside Amazonia known as the Vale of MalisIblis, where a mythical Temple appears every five hundred years. Professor Fabio Mancini, expedition leader believes it holds a large golden disk, a priceless artefact. Ancient tribes say that the holder of this powerful relic will have the ability to open a portal to the Gods! Horror strikes when a scientist is killed in an act of human sacrifice. The death toll continues to rise, and nothing makes sense anymore as friendships stretch to breaking point and religious tensions begin to tighten. Who or what is killing them? Inside the Temple, a tapestry of death traps lay waiting. If these don't get them then horrific life-forms from another world surely will. Will anyone be found alive to rescue? DESTROYER OF WORLDS is the fourth book in this epic story and is the sequel to DEVIL'S TEMPLE. The story does not end here...
About the Author
Nikolaus Baker is my nom de plume, which is derived from my father's name, Nikolaus Hlibyczuk. Our surname is Ukrainian which is interpreted as bread maker or baker. My father arrived in the UK in 1947 after World War II, coming from Germany. Dad was only a very young man and had a few desperate choices to make to survive the war. There was no food in Germany, and due to starvation, he was forced to become a German soldier to live. A lucky man, dad eventually ended up a prisoner of war then driving army trucks for the American Gi's & provided security on trains. Dad was known as Michael. He worked in many different places in the UK & finished his career as head cook at Ballochmyle Hospital. My father married Cissi Thom, my mum. I love both my parents very much even though my childhood was very difficult with mum struggling with alcoholism. Dad & mum have since passed on and I sadly miss them both. I owe everything to my dad. In total respect and of him and his memory, as a writer I want our name to live on in my writing. So, Baker was a natural choice for my pen name. Mauchline is situated on the west coast of Scotland, Ayrshire, near Glasgow. A place steeped in history from the Covenanters & Freemasons to the poet Robert Burns who also lived in the village. I graduated with a BA degree in 1993 from the Open University. My first job was as a laboratory assistant at Auchinleck Academy in the 1970s gaining promotion as a lab technician, moving on to work at Stewarton High School & Irvine Royal Academy where I met a good friend Stuart whose hobby was with microcomputers. I loved my BBC Model B Microcomputer! I then became a computer technician at the College of Building & Printing, Glasgow in the 1980s where I met my wife Aileen. We have two sons & a daughter. My father-in-law was Provost George Calder Murray of Paisley Burgh in Scotland. George had the privilege of meeting, organising and escorting HRM Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip for the Paisley 500 celebrations on 9th Aug 1988. I was a Karate enthusiast in the 70s and 80s, practicing in the Kisan in Ayr and Kilmarnock gaining 3rd Kyu with John Kerr in his own dojo (next to a dentist's - handy that!) I was diagnosed with cancer aged 43. It was a total shock & life-changing. I tried to run away from it and found that this is something I couldn't do. With nowhere to hide, I faced my battle. I am eternally indebted to all those who saved my life. I thank my doctors at the local health centre in Bourtreehill, Irvine, for their help & the surgeon in Ayr Hospital & the radiotherapy department, consultants & staff stationed at the Beatson. I have worked in I.T. both in the private & public sectors. I retired in 2018 after working in the largest college in Glasgow as I.T. Systems Administrator & Computer Network Engineer. My writing passion is challenging & also very therapeutic. I did this sitting early mornings freezing in winters writing GOD'S CHAIN at the bus station before going to work or at lunchtimes at the Glasgow Cenotaph over many summers. I wanted to write a dark fantasy with a difference called GOD'S CHAIN. It is not a religious story. GOD'S CHAIN is a classic tale of light against darkness, good against evil with a message. That by putting our religious and racial differences away, we can through universal brotherhood, courage, determination, hope, friendship, and love we can uplift ourselves spiritually against all adversity. Ultimately my aim is to entertain and tell an exciting story. I was lucky to retire early from college in 2018. I continue to write GOD'S CHAIN and take lessons in acting. My dream is to get a movie deal for GOD'S CHAIN and play some role in it. As I said, It's only a dream. :-)
