SPIKED - Epic novel from C.J. Beck, now an epic film short

May 17, 2010 - PRLog -- Journalist Jim Strachan is fighting for his life, the truth and the woman he loves.

Caught between reporting the truth and the constant threat of death, between an overwhelming love for an elusive woman and her fanatical devotion to her people, between multi-national conspiracies and the depredations of nature, Strachan and his Zulu associate, Winston Nukisa, struggle to survive.


From a refined gentleman's club in London, to the terrible stark beauty of a Gaelic island, from love amid the sand dunes to love by the numbers, and from Pentagon politics to a mysterious cavern in the remote mountains of South West Africa, Strachan is thrust into an odyssey of fear, deprivation, and wonder.

Strachan and Nukisa encounter enemy after enemy but are never sure where the real threat comes from until it's way too late.

With tremendous implications for the war on terrorism, SPIKED paints a compelling, complex and truthful three- dimensional portrait of a people and country poised for great accomplishment, or colossal disaster.

That's just a taste.  There's enough adventure here to fill three first-rate novels.

SPIKED bridges the gulf between popular and insightful fiction.

In the words of one reviewer, Becks previous novel Sizzle, has "compelling characters taking the reader on loads of adventure evoking tears and laughter simultaneously."

Filled with unbelievable action and a rip-roaring pace, SPIKED is arousing adventure that impacts us all.

Inspired by the geographic sweep of Wilbur Smith, the intrigue of John Le Carré and techno edge of Tom Clancy, SPIKED is an epic masterwork that transcends the modern action-adventure form.
