Conspiracy ThrillerThe October Menby David Impey confirmed for release March 20th2018

 

[image]London, United Kingdom, November 27th2017: AUTHOR AND MUSICIAN David Impeyhas signed British agencyLiterally PR Ltd(LitPR) to support the launch of his debut suspense / conspiracy thrillerThe October Men. This is the first full-length novel by David Impey. David has enjoyed an award-winning career in marketing and advertising in which he developed and scripted numerous educational and promotional films, websites and booklets, as well as editing in-house newsletters and magazines. David's debut novel,The October Men, is due for release in the UK on March 20th2018 and in the US on May 31st2018.

 

LitPR has worked with more than 250 authors, literary agents and publishers over the past six years, helping to launch new books and build authors' platforms to reach wider audiences.

 

Helen Lewis, Director at LitPR, comments: "The October Menis a striking new novel from musician David Impey that challenges the conventions of story-telling. If you enjoy thrillers by John le Carré and Colin Dexter, or stimulating science fiction by John Wyndham, thenThe October Menis the novel you must read in 2018."

 

"Have you noticed how many documentaries nowadays on

World War Two are in colour?"

 

Otto Parsons, a brilliant young Oxford physicist, is missing.The October Menis a story of Otto's experiment in quantum physics - trying to create zero gravity without going into space - which yields spectacularly unexpected results: time travel. Professor Dan Sibley, ever more desperate to secure funding to keep the experiment running, allows their work to fall into the control of men with an utterly different agenda. Otto's disappearance is the first link in a chain of events, which tie together monumental historic moments including the sale of a lost van Gogh painting, the discovery of rare film footage of the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Wall Street Crash of 1929, the discovery of a hoard of rare art treasures in a French cave, and the murder of a financial advisor in the Cayman Islands.

 

The scientists initially try to fund the experiment by producing a historical TV series that uncovers the truth behind the Roswell Incident and the assassination of President Kennedy, among others. Inevitably, the show goes viral and attracts unwanted attention. As the project requires ever more funds, sponsorship is sought elsewhere, and control of the equipment quickly passes to a shadowy cabal of international criminals whose activities have global consequences, as they exploit the equipment to take advantage of the financial and art markets.

When the truth slips out, human existence itself comes under threat.

 

Hindsight can be deadly...
