Nemesis #2
The Beast Within
Ram has cheated death - four times. Who is so desperate to kill him? And why? On the run, Ram finds himself on desolate moorland. He knows he is being stalked, but this time by something less than human ...Ram is rescued by the seemingly generous and kind William and Mary. But his relief fades to suspicion and fear when, on learning he has no memory, they insist on calling him Noel. Ram is full of doubt. He has no memory of who he is, but he knows he is not Noel - doesn't he? And odd memories start to surface. Memories of guns, rifles, explosions. Strange phrases seem to ring bells. Why does Ram feel in his gut that his secret past is not just vitally important to him, but could have even global significance? Macphail brilliantly sets the clues and racks up the tension in the second of this four-part instalment about Ram and his deadly opponent, the Dark Man. As the series evolves it will be revealed that there is a global terrorist coup being plotted and Ram - unknowingly - holds the secret and the ability to prevent it. Will he realise in time - or will the Dark Man get to him first?

As a kid, this was the first book that made me excited to read, so I hope many get to enjoy the series like I did back then.

I read the whole thing in one day.
It's cheesy but it's a fun read and it'll always hold a special place in my heart

The polt thickens in The beast Within, and I didn't really understand the title, until I finished the series. Was still in the dark about Ram's past while readiing this book, but it's still a great read.

I LOVED this book! I was so relaxed yet involved throughout this book as I was drawn to turn every page, one after another! I loved the tense situations Ram got into and had my fair share of laughs at some of the characters! Strongly recommended!

Too slow of a plot line, but when it picks up, it's quite interesting.
