The Dark Host

"When David Killearn visits Greece to take part in a NATO Advanced Institute on brain mechanisms, he expects his trip to be an enjoyable stimulus to his research work, followed by a voyage to Santorini, that strange island some believe is the last fragment of lost Atlantis. Even at Athens airport, however, he is caught in the first strands of a frightening web of death and deceit. From the busy modernity of Patras and Athens, Killearn and his friends escape to the beauty and sunshine of the Greek islands. Yet it is in such idyllic settings that they come face to face with the horrific meaning of the Dark Host and where the final violent and tragic consequences of a bizarre attempt to cheat death are encountered."
