Book 3 of the Nexus - The Third Satan / The Path Transcendent
Thomas and Gemma Lewis are dismayed to learn that they were genetically engineered over countless generations by Gemma's 'angel' who now wants Gemma to succeed her - as Ormuzd!
The Church of the All-Seeing Eye is now the House of All Faith and uses the John the Baptist Prophecy to promote the Lewises as Instruments of Divine Design but the right-wing media set a trap for Gemma - further fuelling the widespread fear and hatred of this remarkable family.
In London, Department scientists use Lewis DNA to successfully brain-augment twenty-five agents and link them to the vast CLOTHOS system to 'far-see' foreign installations. Unfortunately, they become the perfect vessel for the Aberration and its Purpose - the annihilation of all sentient life.
Thomas's daughter, Amy, is kidnapped by the Department and Gemma's younger sister, Tamsin, is possessed - so to rescue them they have no choice but to endure unspeakable horror and personal tragedy in order to confront the Aberration - the Third and Greatest of All Satans - and finally set foot upon the Path Transcendent...

About the Author
Paul D.E. Mitchell is a mid-fifties writer who after being a local politician, programmer, builder and single father is now pursuing a dream to explore complex theological and scientific ideas in novel form and plans at least twenty books.
"I had wondered about the concept of parallel worlds where a destiny choice at a key moment - the lever, fulcrum and rotation of the first three titles - sends the whole of Creation onto a new path," he said in a recent interview.
"I'm agnostic so I invented the Lewises and Sheppards to represent the yin and yang of existence and came up with the concept of Evolution as Intelligent Design where warfare and struggle advance species across the universe into higher and higher forms of life. The series of books have basically developed from there. The stories are complex and interwoven with the interactions and viewpoints of ordinary people drawn into the conflicts of the main characters that spawned yet more plots and ideas - leading to the Nexus series."
He is also writing poetry (The Long Grim Book of Thin) and has just published his latest music book - the Ka-Ching Guitar Guide.
