From Amazon:
A fading rock star overdoses on heroin in a Sunset Strip hotel bathroom. A pilot crashes a crippled passenger jet off the coast of Alaska. A seedy businessman suffers a fatal heart attack on a late night train out of Tokyo. An aging woman becomes the first victim of a mysterious pandemic in a Mexico City hospital.
Ten seemingly dislocated deaths occur within an hour across the globe. But unknowingly, for their last six minutes, all ten play host to an amorphous being – a “universal train of thought” existing in a far smaller physical dimension than we can comprehend, which experiences everything they do but can’t tell them it’s there. As it leaps from death to death, learning language from the words of its hosts, gaining character and deciphering its own life’s purpose as it grows, it unravels each of its hosts’ connections to a decades-old tragedy on a beach at Lulworth. A tragedy that tore the rock star’s family apart and is about to have the most violent and shocking consequences imaginable…
[6666666666] is more than just a pan-global, inter-dimensional hunt for the perfect demise, and its chilling conclusion. It is a metaphysical horror story narrated by the monster; the heart-breaking drama of a family destroyed; a portrayal of insanity at its most unsettling. Combining the structural flair of David Mitchell’s Ghostwritten and Cloud Atlas with the cutting edge psychodrama of Bret Easton Ellis and Chuck Palahnuik, it is a visionary dissection of the fundamental gristle of human life – it’s flaws, frustrations, inter-connections and fleeting joys - as viewed through the very jaws of death itself.
Controversial, confrontational and disturbing, [6666666666] will take you to the darkest corners of the human psyche. And a dimension beyond.
