Description
"This is exactly the sort of big, meaty, ambitious thriller that the market needs. I haven't read a book like this since I Am Pilgrim." ANTHONY HOROWITZ------------"Superb - there's an ominous drumbeat throughout, and pace and tension, and a subtle and scarily plausible dystopia - and above all there's main character Alex Lamarque, who could be one of the greats. Greg Mosse writes like John Le Carre's hip grandson." LEE CHILD------------Paris, 2037. The world has never been more dangerous. With a double threat of rising temperatures and new diseases threatening public health, governments face hard choices between cooperation and competition for scarce resources. French special agent Alexandre Lamarque notices signs of a new terror group - one that is widespread and reaches the highest levels. Experience has taught him there is no-one he can trust - not his secretive lover Mariam, not his intelligence colleagues, and not even the people who trained him to be a spy. As his investigation deepens, Alex identifies an ominous sequence of events: a theft from a Norwegian genetics lab; a string of gory child murders; a chaotic coup in a breakaway North African republic and the extraction under fire of its charismatic leader. As the one man able to see through the web of lies, Alex may be the world's only hope of preventing THE COMING DARKNESS...
Following on from a phenomenally successful PR campaign for the hardback edition, the paperback release for The Coming Darkness will be accompanied by a further, targeted PR and marketing campaign, focussing on broadcast and print media. Greg, the husband of novelist Kate Mosse, is well-versed and connected in all things media related.

Reviews

Anthony Horowitz---"A heart-thumping race against time." Saga Magazine---"A clever, fast-paced thriller with incredible world building... an impressive debut with a cinematic narrative style waiting to be adapted for the screen." The Independent---"Superb - there's an ominous drumbeat throughout, and pace and tension, and a subtle and scarily plausible dystopia - and above all there's main character Alex Lamarque, who could be one of the greats. Greg Mosse writes like John Le Carre's hip grandson." Lee Child---"Absorbing and intricately plotted." The Telegraph---"Fast and absorbing, action-packed and loaded with a dark conspiratorial atmosphere... This is ambitious and inventive storytelling, an impressive debut."
