Delighted to announce that my second novel, Shadows Rising will be released this October. This is the sequel to my IPPY award winning first book The Seventh Day. Here's the lowdown :-)
Shadows Rising - by Andy Malone
Amidst a backdrop of terrifying global disasters. Authorities frantically search for a mysterious Scotsman who claims to have travelled from the past on a mission to save humanity. Whilst investigating, CIA Agent Mark Reynolds along with two British scientists uncover an ancient symbol. A discovery which soon attracts some unwelcome attention and suddenly plunges the trio into the heart of a deadly international conspiracy.
Unintentionally returned to 18th century Scotland. Tom Duncan, and his friend, the enigmatic, Dougie Allan begin their own perilous hunt for an ancient artefact. One that if found, could hold the key to humanity’s survival. But as both investigations commence, Reynolds and his team encounter a sinister religious sect. One whose disturbing rise to power has left governments around the world in turmoil. Led by a shadowy leader, the faith promotes peace for all.
But as the clock ticks and events in both timelines reach a heart stopping conclusion, it soon becomes clear that this new faith could have terrifying consequences for all mankind.

The Seventh Day by Andy Malone
What’s the book about?
Beginning in an eighteenth century Scottish village. The Seventh Day is a tense and atmospheric science fiction thriller, written in the vein of classics, such as Highlander, The Da Vinci Code and the Day the Earth Stood Still. Moving through a number of international locations, the action takes our characters on a rollercoaster journey from Alva in Scotland, to London, Rome and eventually to Iceland where the story concludes with a cataclysmic battle between good and evil.
Meet Dougie Allan. An eighteenth century Scottish silver miner who accidentally unearths a plot by a group of sinister beings called the keepers. Disillusioned with the human race and of its apparent love of violence, these creatures set about resetting the planet to allow a less aggressive species to evolve. As a consequence of his discovery, Dougie is catapulted 300 years forward through time into our modern world.
Arriving amidst a backdrop of catastrophic natural disasters. Dougie befriends a local man, Tom Duncan and a feisty reporter Kate Harding who agree to work together with the authorities to uncover the truth. Unfortunately, their investigation is hampered by a series of seemingly unrelated murders. Now they must battle for their lives against a ruthless assassin. One who appears determined to stop at nothing to protect a secret so shocking that it lies at the very heart of world power itself.
As a conspiracy unfolds and the world teeters on the brink of disaster. Dougie receives a cryptic message from one of the creatures. If deciphered he hopes that this olive branch could somehow save humanity. But as world leaders assemble in Iceland for a vital conference, everything is not as it seems. Now it’s Dougie who must face his greatest challenge yet and somehow prevent the destruction of the human race.
Whew, exciting stuff eh?
