The Devil's Numbers

by G.M. Hague

Air force F-111 pilot Russell Cross gets a near-fatal shock when his dead Gulf War friend reappears in the cockpit. A haunted German submarine in 1915 seems destined to plunge into oblivion, if the ghosts aboard will have their way. A computer expert meets a bizarre and terrible death.

A witness to all these seemingly random events is the ghostly spectre of Matthew, a young boy who in another lifetime opened the door to an unspeakable horror. Now Matthew is preparing to wreak havoc on a luxury super-liner that seems bound for the bottom of the sea. And Matthew's going to take Russell Cross with him.

Anything can happen when you start counting with the devil's numbers.

This book was a gift to me. I recieved it along with another book. I didn't read until the next Christmas. At the time it wasn't my style, but as I grew older I can honestly say that this book gave me a taste for horror stories. Great plot and great scenes of horror.

Not so much horror as entertainment. Unbelievable yet engaging story concerning a very naughty evil spirit and its doings over the century, culminating in attempting to destroy an ocean liner.

This is an easy read. Though it is probably too long at 550 pages. The horror is mild, it is not a gory story. To be honest I was a little confused by the abrupt ending and was not sure what the evil in the story actually was.
