Review of The Shard of Asclepius of Stewart F Brennan

The Shard of Asclepius is a gripping supernatural thriller that pulls back the veil on a shadowy conspiracy lurking within our modern world. An elusive and powerful secret organization, known only as the Collective, exerts control over the global economy and influences authorities from behind the scenes. With their dark forces always watching and listening, their quest for dominance seems unstoppable—until a lone individual dares to stand against them.

David Collins, an introspective Montrealer, finds himself at the center of this dangerous conspiracy when he discovers a shard of advanced ancient technology with extraordinary powers. Guided by intuition, David allies himself with the Order of Hermes, a clandestine group dedicated to revealing lost knowledge and protecting it from those who would use it for nefarious ends. Together, they must harness the shard’s capabilities of both healing and destruction while evading the relentless pursuit of the Collective.

The story unfolds in a deadly chase across Quebec and New York State, where David must unlock the shard’s secrets to expose the Collective’s plans and potentially save the world from their grip of darkness. Will David and the Order of Hermes succeed in their mission, or will they be silenced by the shadows closing in?
