Book Promo : Complete Darkness by Matt Adcock
I am really excited to be sharing with you this fantastic book!
It’s currently on tour with Zooloo’s Book Tours, and everyone is loving it – check out some of these reviews so far
The story is fun, inventive and keeps you hooked. I loved the writing and how it interviews a bit of humour with more theological and technological questions.

I loved some of the humour that was threaded throughout and just know that so many will enjoy this crazy journey into the future.

I might have to go back and give it a listen again coz I am sure that there is loads of stuff that I have missed on first listen, and in addition to that, I am sure that I missed loads of references to geek culture that I really want to capture.

Matt Adcock has let his mind run wild, bringing absolute carnage to a dystopian future whilst still finding much to laugh at.

I listened to the audio book and really enjoyed the way the narrator characterised the people vs the AI and robots. It’s spiritual SciFi, with lots of detail for techies and big thoughts to back them up.

For centuries many have pondered the prospect of an afterlife and feared what came to be known as ‘hell’.
In the near future, we map the elusive ‘dark matter’ around us, only to find out that it is hell itself, and it is very real…As the satanic President Razour attempts to bring forward Armageddon to prevent humanity repenting, the fate of us all rests in the hands of Cleric20, a hedonistic loner with a checkered past, and his robot sidekick, GiX.
An action-packed literary shock to the senses that mixes flights of comic fantasy with bouts of brutal violence. Mankind’s only hope seems to be having a very bad day.
Can Cleric20 halt Razor’s devilish plans after an experimental bioweapon deployed to kill him accidentally gives him superpowers?
Has the Devil inadvertently created a hero who could actually stop him?
Little can prepare you for this spiritually-charged, over-the-top cyber-noir thrill ride.
