Eternity's Escape - Erik Lange - Bog

Book one in the Karl Lark Chronicles series. Contemporary urban fantasy horror fiction set in 2015. Escapist thrill ride, sci-fi thriller, and mystery mashup. If Sherlock Holmes, Indiana Jones, and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea made a baby... www.erik-lange.com Thomas Davies is a bachelor working in the rare book business from his comfortable London flat. When a consulting opportunity at the British Museum goes horribly wrong - ending in bloodshed and a cover-up - he is suddenly thrust into the services of the terrifying, yet fascinating, Karl Lark. Unsure if he's been rescued or kidnapped, the only thing Davies knows for certain is that the single alternative to declining Lark's offer is an unpleasant demise, and that death at the hands of Lark may be the least of his worries. The enigmatic Lark and his mysterious organization are apparently beholden to no one. Operating in the shadows, with seemingly limitless means and technologies that should not exist. Davies soon learns that the world holds more secrets than he ever thought possible. And embarking on a daring, globetrotting mission to rescue a figure of legend, the unspeakable evil that opposes them is far greater - and far more ancient - than anything he ever imagined...
