THE DEAD RETURN AND A CHILD ALONE KNOWS THE SECRET OF THE TRAITOR IN OUR MIDST

A crackling new novel from one of the best thriller writers working today.

Daniel Easterman’s 'Incarnation' is a story of war and the weaponry that feeds it, of treachery, and of the courage which may conquer it. Travelling from London to Washington, from India to China to the Taklamakan desert and the forbidden zone of Lop Nor, it encompasses fear, love, heroism and extraordinary adventure.

“Daniel Easterman has a string of taut, exotically plotted, international thrillers to his credit. He can weave a web of suspense, laced with historical and mythological reference, that baits the imagination satisfactorily embroidered with bullet holes and bloodshed.”

A fast-paced thriller combining the forces of fear, love, heroism and extraordinary adventure.

‘In northern India a twelve-year-old boy is being interrogated by three intelligence officers. A tape-recorder turns; there is no air conditioning, no fan. Everyone but the boy is sweating: his tale is so incredible that none dares believe it.’

The child appears to be the reincarnation of a dead British secret agent: his knowledge is that of a grown man, Matthew Hyde, who disappeared in China’s Sinkiang province whilst investigating the links between Iraqi nuclear scientists and Chinese research bases. Somewhere – and only the boy knows the secret – there is a massive conspiracy to supply Saddam Hussein with a weapon against which there can be no defence.

From the corridors of power in London to the lost cities of the Taklamakan desert, this crackling novel encompasses fear, love, heroism and extraordinary adventure.
