Ever since humanity has existed, there has been constant speculation about positive and negative energies, about heaven and hell. The existence of powers beyond those living on Earth has always been contested and debated. However, when a Himalayan guide stumbles upon a brutally, self-destroyed body deep in the mountains and news of some entity feeding off a mass grave in Bosnia becomes public, all doubts vanish into thin air. A demi-god named "Older than Old" is discovered by a nun in the desolate Kalahari desert. All of these hint at only one thing: there exists a supernatural power that is anything but benevolent. Deep in the realms within this Earth exist a species that is going to prove to be a fatal enemy of the human race. The Biblical notion of "devils" is slowly transforming into a reality that will challenge the survival of mankind on the Earth. Jeff Long concocts the perfect recipe for a horror story. In 'The Descent', Long lucidly fills detailed descriptions of demonic powers and activites that will have chills run down any reader's spine. For lovers of scientific-fiction and horror, this book has it both coupled together.
