‘Book of The Month’ Author Luke Gracias visits India To discuss his latest book “No Shadow without Light.”
About the Book
Genre: Mystery Thriller and Historical Fiction
Suitable for ages: 15+
In a world desensitised to environmental documentaries, Luke’s historical fiction novels allegorically tell the story of an impending apocalypse. The highway to Armageddon is signposted by historical texts, monuments and climatic events humankind chooses to ignore. These feature in this must-read environmental bestseller, which is a call to action to protect the ‘tools of survival’ needed by the next generation.
The Devil’s Bible is housed in the National Library of Sweden. It has 12 missing pages rumoured to contain an apocalyptic text known as ‘The Devil’s Prayer’.
On 06/06/06, our world population crossed 6.66 billion. It triggered the Devil’s Game, a treasure hunt for the 12 missing pages which would bring about the apocalypse.
From the Templars of Tomar to the Doomsday Chest in London, from the Curse of Amir Temur to the Shadowless Pagoda of Wuhan, the sisters race along the trail of destruction unleashed by each page. For every page that Jess finds, people are encouraged to be selfish, and hoard for themselves, erasing the chances of survival of other species and our future generations. Siobhan appeals to the selfless to protect our resources for the future.
Meet the Author Event
The ‘Meet the Author’ event at Crossword, Kemp’s Corner on 6 May at 6 pm is where Luke will be signing copies and talking about this book to spread awareness about environmental issues.
