The Prometheus Effect

by Jonathan Davison

Joshua Regan, an ambitious investigative journalist is assigned to write an article on the apparent increase of UFO sightings and supposed 'alien abductions'. His lack of enthusiasm for the story is evident until he stumbles across Jimmy Stock, a London minicab driver who is a victim of a savage attack which has left him deeply traumatised. Roger Coffey is an astronaut with NASA and a last minute replacement for an old friend who has astonishingly taken his own life. Coffey soon becomes aware that despite his presence on the 'Prometheus' mission, he is clearly an outsider. The suspicion that his crew are carrying out an irregular satellite deployment soon becomes validated as he realises that his own life is in immediate danger. Regan and Coffey's lives become inexorably intertwined in the wake of a profound global event which will usher in a terrifying new age of world order. 'The Prometheus Effect' is a classy Science Fiction Thriller from the author of 'Dark Phase'. Conspiracy, horror and politic intrigue make 'The Prometheus Effect' a true page turner and a story for all those who look to the future through cynical eyes.

About the author

Hi, my name is Jonathan Davison.

I never had aspirations to be a writer. It all happened by accident. One day I had a few hours waiting for something to happen and I thought it would be a great idea to write a story. After I finished my first book, I vowed never to do it again. I started my second book the next day.

I am an independent author. That is someone who takes it upon him or herself to write and publish books all by themselves. This means no agent or editor, no safeguards, nowhere to hide! It also means my books might not be free of typing errors, grammatical anomalies or mistakes in my research - for that, I apologise in advance. By publishing this way, we amateur writers are exposing ourselves to critique which can be uplifting as well as disheartening and sometimes beguiling. It is my aim to tell a story and I hope that you will enjoy sharing the fruits of my over-active imagination without getting too many pips between your teeth.

Reviews

[Sean Randall · Rating 3 out of 5]

A potentially clever long-con sort of a work, shame the big chase chapter toward the end lacked a certain gravitas (is it a helicopter? A hidden gunship?). Nice to see the Britishisms taking pride of place too, so often it's American authors setting their works in the UK and bringing their trash cans and freeways with them, so that was a relief.

meh, at best.

I thought it was going to be a sci-fi story. Just turns out to be a lame fairly unbelievable conspiracy story.
