Apocalypse has just been brought forward . . .
It begins with a spectacular outrage on the steps on St Peter's in Rome. For the faithful watching in their millions, it seems like the ultimate sacrilege. Little do they realise how much horror there is to come.
For Uzi Pelham, disillusioned veteran of Israel's most secret death squad, the killing is over. But when his political masters demand he come out of retirement he knows there is nowhere to hide. His unique skills are needed to track the terrorist mastermind to his lair - and when his wife, Kit, becomes involved, he finds himself on a mission that he cannot allow to fail.
But the mind that Uzi must outwit belongs to no ordinary madman. For behind the savage attacks on the planet is a vision of bizarre and terrifying audacity - an attempt to provoke the forces he regards as Satan's legions into a final confrontation, a bloody battle that will usher in the apocalypse . . .
'The Reaper' is another international thriller from acclaimed author James H Jackson, a former political risk and defence consultant.
