Lords of the Levels

by Michael Bentine

The Department of Parapsychology at Wessex University was held in disdain by more conventional faculties, but when a hideous evil reared up from the desolate Romney Marshes, the varied psychic talents of Professor Daniel Fortune and his team were able to fight fire with fire.

But amidst the pattern of desecrated churches and ritually sacrificed animals, the hand of a more contemporary evil was discernible. Hard drugs were being smuggled on the marsh. Soon the three academics were pitted against a deadly force that would test their extraordinary abilities to the outer limits...

I was alerted to this book by a reference made to it in the manuscript that Suzanne Thomas is preparing for publication in the next little while, called Who’d Have Thought It. As a major portion of her work is a reprint of Colin Bloy’s work, the passing remark about Michael Bentine’s novel having Colin in it sparked my curiosity.

hmm, what can I say...the plot was ok, but lacked depth, the characters could have been a less 2 dimentional and obvious but then again, the book was written in the 1980's by an ex-Goon so I do wonder if there is a little tongue in cheek humour going on. It was good for my poor work weary brain that didn't need any further taxing just before I slept. Its going straight to a charity shop where it might find more love than I can give it ;)
