Jonathan Aycliffe is the author of The Talisman.
The Talisman,i shut my eyes and began to turn. As I did so, I heard a sound behind me . . .” A statue, unearthed in ancient Babylon during the course of an archaeological dig, is transported to London. Once there, it quickly exerts an evil influence over those with whom it comes into contact; an influence which threatens to spread throughout London, and beyond, and which pits the living against the dead in a battle for all mankind.
