5.0 out of 5 starsDevil of a good tale
By Quixote010 VINE VOICE on June 9, 2013
Format: Paperback Vine Customer Review of Free Product ( What's this? )
On the back of The Diabolist, an astute publisher has written: "Fans of Dan Brown, Douglas Preston, James Rollins Steve Berry and the X-Files will delight in this gripping thriller. A+ for the writer.

The Diabolist is the first Dominic Grey book I have read, and I'm now searching the library for more. Author Layton Green's character of Viktor Radek, a near 7 foot professor of Religion Phenomenology has many similarities to Douglas Preston's Aloysius Pendergast...both are connected to law agencies (Pendergast the FBI and Radek, Interpol), both dress in black, both are independently wealthy, both have international connections, and each ascribes to finding logical answers to seemingly supernatural events.

Like Dan Brown, Green immerses his tale in religious events and Biblical prophesy. Radek is considered the world's "foremost investigator of cults" and this particular tale involves him in determining the truth behind the demise of numerous evil worshiping factions. As a student, Radek dabbled in the cult worship of evil, and now he is concerned that a former friend may be involved in bringing ancient Satanism back,

Dominic Grey reminds us Steve Berry's Cotton Malone on steroids. A jiu jitsu expert, Grey is a former special operative who now works as Radek's partner in solving crime.

Besides having the best of qualities of the writers mentioned, Green's The Diabolist comes across as a "smart" novel. The events and actions are based on logical events, and the author does a great job of moving you from scene to scene without reaching into the absurd. Radek has his own demands and failures, and they meld into the tale flawlessly. Green's inclusion of religious events and biblical references is outstanding.

If you are into historically-related mysteries with strong characters and a plot that is more cerebral that continuous action, then I think you will like this one.

5.0 out of 5 starsA dark, intelligent, spellbinding novel
By Bob Milne on June 8, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition
For this third book in The Dominic Grey Series and his first with the Thomas & Mercer imprint, Layton Green kicks things up a notch and delivers a novel that should, if there's any justice to be found upon the shelves, make him a household name. The Diabolist is a dark, intelligent, spellbinding novel that is destined to appeal to readers of Preston & Child, David Gibbins, and Dan Brown . . . as well as the likes of Peter Straub, John Saul, and James Herbert.

This is a novel about two things - the nature of belief, and the dichotomy of good versus evil. Yes, it's a rip-roaring, pulse-pounding adventure, but it's also an intelligent, deeply philosophical look at the concept of evil, and how it's defined (or justified) within the bounds of faith and belief. It all begins with the mysterious deaths of two prominent religious figures, one of the House of Lucifer and the other of the Church of the Beast, both condemned as heretics. I won't attempt to summarize the details that Layton provides in the course of the novel, but it turns out the public perception of a 'Satanist' is just as troubled and diverse as that of a 'Christian' faith.

At the same time, a charismatic leader by the name of Simon Azar has begun making a name for himself, amassing over a million followers for his Order of New Enlightenment. It's a very attractive, very seductive sort of humanist religion, one that celebrates the natural enjoyment of life in all its forms, all without guilt or shame. It's an intelligent form of belief, and one that's easy to see the appeal of, but there's something suspicious at its heart.

Enter our heroes, Dominic Grey and Viktor Radek, working on behalf of Interpol to solve the murders and prevent the death of more . . . including the Pope.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsThinking person's occult thriller
By John R. on June 4, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
In the Diabolist, the third novel in the Dominic Grey series, Layton Green has forged a well-crafted, thinking person's occult thriller. From New York to San Fran, from Paris to London, Layton takes us with his characters on a heart-pounding race to defeat the forces of an ancient religion, which may not have the best intentions for its followers.

I was introduced to the Dominic Grey series by a friend when the first book in the series, the Summoner, came out. While an excellent first novel, Layton Green is now really hitting his stride with this most recent novel, the Diabolist.

The Diabolist, which is not for the faint of heart, is a fast paced occult thriller. The Diabolist is more than just an airplane novel, a thrilling page turner that makes you think. Layton's intense narration keeps you on your toes and wondering what's around the next bend. Layton is an excellent storyteller with the ability to provide a strong story line, and you can see from this novel that Layton has really worked hard to develop the characters. The main characters of this story aren't superheroes, they are flawed just as we are as readers. Layton shows their flaws in a way that, ultimately, we as readers can relate to.

It is clear that Layton does a great amount of research in both the story topics and locations. Layton picks us up and puts us in the setting. In London we can feel the chill in the air, in Paris we can see the macabre setting in the catacoms. And like most readers, I know little about Satanism and related cults, but Layton quickly brings us up to speed without sounding like he is lecturing. For better or worse, he brings this eerie subject to life.

The Diabolist is a fun novel that you will want to read during the day. On the beach. So you know that you are safe! I look forward to great things to come with this series.
