This book, the third installment in the Three Births of Daoloth trilogy, takes place in the present day or a similar era. Dominic Sheldrake, once a renowned lecturer, has retired and lives alone. His son, Toby, is married and has a young daughter named Macy. The occultist Noble family, known for their activities, are more active than ever before. Their cult, now openly known as the Church of the Eternal Three, has spread worldwide. The local branch of the church occupies the top floors of Starview Tower, a prominent skyscraper on the Liverpool waterfront. To Dominic's dismay, Toby and his wife, Claudine, are deeply involved in the church, and he suspects that they are also involving Macy in their activities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite his reservations, Dominic attends a meeting of the church, where he encounters all three generations of the Noble family. Christian Noble, who is almost a century old, appears surprisingly vigorous and inhumanly so. The family takes turns delivering apocalyptic sermons that hint at dark secrets hidden within the Bible and foretell a future that awaits. Intrigued by the church's offerings, Dominic undergoes a rite that grants him the ability to travel psychically through time. However, before he can return to the present, he experiences a vision of the monstrous fate that awaits the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDominic discovers a secret that he believes the Nobles will do everything to keep hidden. Although he has retired from the police, Jim, a former colleague, assists him in uncovering the truth. Roberta, Dominic's friend, publishes the information on her online blog, sparking a court case. Initially, it seems as though the Nobles have been defeated, but they return in a dreadfully transformed state. Now, Dominic and his friends find themselves at the mercy of the Nobles, and it becomes unclear if there is any safe place in the world to hide. Even if they manage to confront the Nobles, the consequences of their actions may be far-reaching and irreversible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Way of the Worm is a thrilling and suspenseful conclusion to Campbell's cosmic trilogy. It explores themes of religion, power, and the consequences of hiding secrets. The book leaves readers on the edge of their seats, wondering what will happen next and whether there is any hope for salvation in a world plagued by dark forces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 410g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 x 228 x 34 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781787585683\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ramsey Campbell","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44097078690042,"sku":"9781787585683","price":14.28,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1648812140961_book.jpg?v=1648832737","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-way-of-the-worm-9781787585683","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
