The Book of All Power

‘The Book of All Power’ takes place in the years before the First World War and until many years after the Bolshevik revolution in Russia. Malcom Hay, an engineer for a Ukrainian-English oil firm, comes into possession of ‘The Book of All Power’ from the elderly Israel Kensky who tells him it can turn people in to his puppets. Upon arriving in Russia, Hay becomes embroiled in a web of conspiracy that will strike at all levels of society from the Grand Duchess of the royal Russian family to the heads of the underground mob. This novel is packed with conspiracy, assassinations, murder and intrigue with plot twists at every turn that will leave the reader spinning. If you loved ‘The Man in the High Tower’ you’ll love this action packed novel.

Edgar Wallace (1875-1932) was an English writer, poet and journalist. He was such a prolific writer that his publisher claimed his work could account for a quarter of all books sold in England. He wrote countless books, screenplays, poems and historical non-fiction, spawning over one hundred and sixty films based on his work. He unfortunately passed away suddenly before he could see his most famous creation ‘King Kong’ come to life. It has been adapted several times over the years, notably by Peter Jackson of Lord of the Rings fame, and more recently in ‘Godzilla vs Kong’ starring Millie Bobby Brown.
