by Robert Storey
2041 Sanctuary (2: Let There Be Light)In the darkness, you can’t always trust the light.A year has passed since the asteroid AG5 impacted off the South African coastline and civilisation teeters on the brink of collapse beneath the all-encompassing dust cloud which encircles the planet. As those on the surface struggle to survive a devastating impact winter, the world’s finest assemble on the International Space Station for a covert mission that could change the course of all life on Earth. But as the clock ticks down to zero hour, it’s clear … everything is not as it seems.Back in the United States, the once all powerful Professor Steiner, visionary engineer and former Director General of the Global Meteor Response Council’s vast Subterranean Programme, is about to be tried for masterminding a horrific act of terrorism. As calls for the death penalty gain momentum, those that sit in judgement are unaware that Steiner holds the key not just to their survival, but to the survival of the entire human race. If Professor Steiner is to survive, his only chance lies with an FBI agent who would see him dead ten times over and his nemesis, the world’s most wanted criminal, the elusive cyber terrorist, Da Muss Ich, both of whom hide secrets of their own. Elsewhere, Richard Goodwin, deposed Director of USSB Steadfast, and Sarah Morgan, the English archaeologist, remain marooned in separate locations within the colossal underground realm known as Sanctuary. Both seek a way to the surface, but while neither will meet, their shared purpose will attract the attention of another denizen of the deep, and as Goodwin already knows to his cost: in the darkness, you can’t always trust the light.‘Hidden prophecies, astonishing discoveries, terror, intrigue and conspiracy, the Ancient Origins adventure never ceases to surprise and delight in equal measure. From the dark cometh the light!’‘An action-packed adventure thriller, filled with the twists and turns of a whodunit … unputdownable.’**
