Lumus Dark

Publisher Marketing: The romantic poet John Keats believed that beauty is truth and truth beauty. He held that it's all we know, and all we need to know. But what if you can't always tell what is true, tangible or real? What if, like Ben Logan you have less than three years of memories since being discovered with total amnesia? Would the care and charity of well-meaning strangers be enough to quell the voices in your head demanding answers to the past? Filled with doubts and searing anxiety, Ben unexpectedly meets mysterious and beautiful Karen. She reveals knowledge about his past, but is her beauty all he needs to know? Maybe in a perfect world, but the ugliness of a manmade viral outbreak creates murderous hordes of infected people; turning their tender encounter into a brutal struggle for survival. As the disease rapidly spreads, it triggers a worldwide panic as governments unite to combat the pandemic. Will the creation of a one-world regime be the answer to stopping the anarchy? What is the truth behind the upcoming lottery for space inside newly fortified safe zones? Who could the mysterious figure called the Dark One really be? Meanwhile, rogue factions, mercenaries and runaway military leaders take advantage of the lawlessness, and compound the peril as the globe descends into pandemonium. Strange signs and wonders lead Ben and his friends on a dangerous journey all over the earth to discover the truth, but many dark revelations will test Ben's capacities for trust, love and heroism. With evil cloaking hope with a thick darkness, the absence of memory may be easier to endure than what lies beneath.
