"Return to Gallanvaig" is the second part of the "Quirk of Destiny" trilogy, an apocalyptic tale of devastation and destruction caused by the widespread introduction of genetically modified food, resulting in the decimation of the human race and the rise of the "Genies," or gene-mutated humans. Two years have passed since the first outbreak and the Genies, led by Balthazar, the epitome of evil with paranormal powers, hatch a plan to increase their diseased race, despite the ravages of GM poisoning. Meanwhile, a ruthless shadowy group emerges, intent on manipulating world events, causing death and destruction, with the ultimate aim to take control of the surviving world population. They attack their sworn enemies, the Genies and inveigle the leaders of the nations of the world. The only hope for the survival of humankind is the backlash from the GM-free survivors. Could it happen? It already is. But will good triumph over evil? A Quirk of Destiny '.. great romp of a novel, populated by a host of well-drawn characters, and with a gradually emerging, sinister plot twist.' Brian Page, Editor Mensa Magazine 'I was hooked by the dramatic first chapter. This book illustrates present dangers we may already face. It has certainly made me think about what I eat. The ending is a bit of a cliff-hanger to set the scene for the sequel. I hope it comes soon.' Amazon reader 'A readable, engaging thriller with a message that makes you think A compelling storyline, once you pick up this book you can't put it down.' Amazon reader 'This book is rather scary at times as to the scenario it presents and even more so when one considers the author's background. The reader may be left wondering, and possibly rightly so, I should say, as to whether this might not be whistle blowing disguised as fiction. A definite must read book.' Michael Smith, Editor Green Living 'The manipulation of genes place huge powers in the hands of the few and that is why books such as the 'Quirk of Destiny' can be so valuable in sounding the alarm bells in time for people to regain control.' Peter Riley, GM Freeze Campaign Director 'The threat of Genetically Modified (GM) Plants and its impact on our health may be a greater risk than we realise.' Phil Exon, Mensa Science Fiction SIG Editor This is a compelling novel in the style of John Wyndham.. It shows how a single event can cause our complex society to break down very quickly.' Amazon reader The Best of the Year 2013. Best books (joint number 1) On the same level we have then "A Quirk of Destiny" - another must read book - though different, as it is about GMO and more a thriller and a novel rather than a memoir. Michael Smith, Green (Living) Review. 'This is definitely NOT a run of the mill post apocalyptic tale It's very intelligently written with some decent plots twists. I also like how the author gave the "genies," or the genetically mutated people special attributes you wouldn't expect them to have. It definitely made them creepier. An exciting and enjoyable read that makes me want to eat more organic foods. ' Amazon reader
