Born on the same day near the turn of the century on opposite sides of the world, both men are brought together by fate and the quest of a dream. These two men -- ambitious, powerful, ruthless -- are locked in a relentless struggle to build an empire, fuelled by their all-consuming hatred. Over 60 years and three generations, through war, marriage, fortune, and disaster, Kane and Abel battle for the success and triumph that only one man can have.

I received a copy of this book from the author. Of my own accord, I’ve decided to review the book.While the story is interesting, I couldn’t help being reminded of a couple of books I read many years ago about Charles Sohbraj. One was written by Marie-Andrée Leclerc (a French Canadian woman who was thought to be one of his accomplices) and the other by Thomas Thompson (Serpentine). Falconer’s story is very similar but, at the same time, different. It’s only at the end that I realized he had indeed been inspired by the story of Charles Sohbraj, so my hunch was sort of right. As I said above, the story was sufficiently interesting to keep my interest going. The characters are rather well developed and one could feel Michel’s anger and hate. What did spoil the experience, though, is the amount of mistakes and typos – and the more the story advanced, the more there was. Something a round or two of proofreading/editing could solve easily. Because this is something rather important for me – blame it on former jobs as proofreader and translator – I’m giving this a 3,5 stars.

Demented Are Go (DAG aka Demented Are Go!) are a Welsh psychobilly band that was formed around 1982 in Cardiff, Wales. They were one of the earliest in the initial wave of bands to mix punk rock with rockabilly, and as a result, are considered to be highly influential to the psychobilly scene.
The band often claims their name originated from the phrase "Demon teds are go!" as an adaptation of the phrase "Thunderbirds are go!" from the Thunderbirds TV series. Psychobilly is often associated with horror.

Demented Are Go formed in Penarth, South Wales, near Cardiff. Initially, the band was disorganized, with Mark Phillips or "Sparky" playing drums, Ant Thomas singing, Richard Jones playing bass, and Steve Jordan, playing rhythm guitar with a gold-top Les Paul. The band's image was represented by Jones' red dyed hair and Jordan's leather trousers. Dick Thomas, a veteran musician of the punk-pub rock circuits, joined the band in early 1983 and proceeded to reshuffle the line-up (Thomas moved to drums and Phillips sang vocals), taught the bass player how to play his instrument, and, otherwise, consolidated the overall band.
