Publisher's Summary

Massive sinkholes are opening across the country - each larger and deeper than the previous one. First the family pets go missing, and anyone living near one of the pits, is reporting strange phenomena - the vibrations, sulphurous odours and strange sounds rising up from the stygian depths. Then come the reports of horrifying ‘things’ rising from the darkness.

When the people start disappearing the government is forced to act. A team is sent in to explore one of the holes – and all hell breaks loose - the Old Ones are rising up again.

From the war zones of the Syrian Desert, to the fabled Library of Alexandria, and then to Hades itself, join Professor Matt Kearns, as he searches for the fabled Al Azif, known as the Book of the Dead. He must unravel an age-old prophecy, and stop Beings from a time even before the primordial ooze, which seek once again to claim the planet as their own. Time is running out, for Matt, and all life on Earth.

Enjoyable.

Although I am not a dedicated HP Lovecraft fan I must give kudos to that imaginative writer whose talent was not fully appreciated until long after his tragic end. And I must acknowledge Greg Beck's homage to Lovecraftian horrors that terrified the well-developed and sympathetic characters in Book of the Dead. I enjoyed the book - although the desert scenario could have used some editing - and will maybe give Beck another try in future in spite of the fact that I did not like his novel Immortality Curse. But, Book of the Dead is a satisfying listen thanks to a suspenseful story line and excellent narration.
