Premise:
A man raised by foster parents, finds out he is the heir of a notable scientist... and that he is a clone. And his pregnant wife may be harboring something very evil inside her.
My Take:
If you are a fan of the author's Repairman Jack series, then this book in series called The Adversary Cycle is a must read. Both are different sides of the bigger opus Wilson calls The Secret History of the World. It took about 2/3 of the book to figure out how it all ties together. This man has an obsession trying to find out his biological parents. He inherits a mansion and lots of money from a Noble Prize winning scientist, then finds out his true identity and that he is actually of clone of the scientist. In the meantime, a secret sect of the church is preparing for the arrival of Satan. They find out the man is a clone and think he's the Anti-Christ, but then realize it's the unborn child. It's not Satan, but a force of Evil which is in constant battle with another opposing force with mankind as the prize to the winner. The book is a great read, as usual, from one of the lesser known horror author.
