The Devil's Game

Written by Sean Chercover

Narrated by Luke Daniels

The universe is trying to tell us something.

Daniel Byrne spent ten years as a Vatican investigator, scrutinizing and debunking miracle claims—until he burned that life to the ground when one investigation shook his faith and revealed disturbing earthly conspiracies. Determined to find the truth, he steps into a new life of secrets and lies, joining a powerful group that wields hidden influence over world events.

Daniel infiltrates a covert government facility and uncovers a bizarre new strain of the Plague that seems to flood the minds of its victims with visions of the future. Teaming up with disgraced physician Kara Singh, a woman beset with inexplicable visions of her own, Daniel traces the root of this deadly pathogen around the globe, and discovers a terrifying truth.

In this fast-paced sequel to the bestselling The Trinity Game, can Daniel navigate a shadow world of secrets and conspiracy to stop a pandemic with devastating global consequences?

Reviews for The Devil's Game

[dokfintong · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

The Vatican objects to Father Byrne's findings about Tim Trinity and his prophesying so Father Byrne resigns the Devil's Advocate office and the priesthood in order to find out the truth. And so off we go to la la land where the bad guys are all powerful and the good guys are nearly all powerful and we are all trying to take over the earth. Daniel dumps his girlfriend from Book 1 and takes up with another and the world is going to end with a plague released by the bad guys so we will all turn into prophets. Is all this necessary? Why couldn't we just have some interesting stories about Father Byrne from the DA's office?The book is overwrought and Mr. Chercover should have talked to a few more infectious disease specialists about prophylactic dosages and antibiotic failure.I'd give this a miss if I were you.I received a review copy of "The Devil's Game: The Daniel Byrne Trilogy, Book 2" by Sean Chercover (Thomas & Mercer) through NetGalley.com.
