From the aftermath of "The Anomaly - Genesis," the first gripping tale in the Anomaly series, we are thrust into a world more chaotic than ever before. Alien harvesters eye our world with menacing intent, global wars leave humanity on the brink, and the ever-present pulse of a digital deity beats louder. As the cataclysmic shadow looms, a messiah rises, guiding millions in The Great March. But as the fabric of our reality teeters, our last hope may rest on the digital shoulders of a sentient AI. Welcome to the heart of intrigue, cosmic battles, and the rebirth of hope, but will hope be enough to save humanity from extinction

Meet Allegra Stratton, hip young journalist. She's been wrong about the war in Iraq, fallen out with her friend, and is fast approaching a quarter-life crisis. In her disillusionment she takes herself to Beirut, Amman, Cairo, Dubai, Kuwait City and Damascus to understand what daily life is like for Arabs of her own age. She finds that two-thirds of the Middle East population is younger than 25. That there are more graduates than at any time in history, but few jobs to go round.The youth are trying to come to terms with the Middle Eastern ripple of change: Iraq's first post-Saddam elections, Lebanon's Cedar Revolution, Kuwait giving women the vote. Islamic revival is in the wind. Or is it? While looking for youth culture as she knows it, Allegra soon discovers that it is the massive video industry of airbrushed, heavily produced, scantily clad singers who hold the affections of young Arabs-the Muhajababes. And there's a contradiction: many of the fans of these semi-naked popstrels are also very devout.Is this trendy Islam, or just another form of religious conservatism? The answer to this question may lie closer to home than Allegra thought.
A killer needs to be stopped. But no-one believes there's been a murder. A suicide at the Manor Hotel upset leaves the locals shaken. But not Kempston Hardwick. He's suspicious. The more he learns, the more sure he is that whatever happened in room 13 wasn’t suicide. The police won't even consider murder. So it's up to Hardwick and his friend Ellis Flint to find the truth. Will Hardwick discover the true killer, or will he and Ellis become the next guests who go to room 13 to check out permanently?
