The Antichrist’s Machine (Codex Ogmios)

THE DEVIL’S INFERNAL DEVICE

Under the merciless summer sun, Dr. Kytain’s archaeology team unearths a discovery that will rewrite history: an ancient box bearing the unmistakable visage of Baphomet, the horned deity.

This remote French island has long whispered of Knights Templar secrets, but the box—a mechanical marvel centuries ahead of its time—may finally prove the knights’ forbidden connection to devil worship, the very accusation that condemned them to flames.

Before they can decode its intricate mechanisms, the night erupts in screams. By dawn, the entire team lies mutilated beyond recognition, their blood soaking into the parched earth. All evidence points to Al Aler’eyh, a merciless extremist faction whose name is spoken only in hushed tones.

When a second brutal murder desecrates Cambridge University’s hallowed grounds, a pattern emerges—one that triggers immediate alarms at the highest levels of intelligence.

Sir Charles Wyndham activates his elite Ogmios Team with a single directive: locate the Lucifer Machine before it falls into the wrong hands, and obliterate the fundamentalist terror cell responsible for the slaughter.

Noah and Orla track the blood trail to Dubai, a glittering metropolis of excess where wealth masks depravity and luxury towers hide unspeakable horrors. In this playground of the powerful, they find themselves hunted, outgunned, and running out of time—with the fate of millions hanging in the balance.

The machine must not be activated. Whatever ancient evil it contains must remain locked away... at any cost.
