Pandaemonium by Christopher Brookmyre
The senior pupils at St Peter’s High School are on retreat at a secluded outdoor activity centre, coming to terms with the murder of a fellow pupil through the means you would expect: counsellng, contemplation, candid discussion and even prayer – not to mention booze, drugs, clandestine liaisons and as much partying as they can get away with.
Not so far away, the commanders of a top-secret military experiment, long-since spiraled out of control, fear they may have literally unleashed the forces of Hell.
Two very different worlds are on a collision course, and will clash in an earthly battle between science and the supernatural, philosophy and faith, civilization and savagery.
The bookies are offering evens. Pandaemonium is a terrifying journey to the boundaries of knowledge and imagination that will trouble your thoughts long after you have raced to the final, blood-spattered page. A gothic nightmare for the twenty-first century…
