Summary

Can you imagine what it would be like not to have any memory of your first 10 years of life? 

Jake Howard knows how that feels. He's a successful psychiatrist and writer. He has an apparently adoring lover and the respect of his peers. But he also has a huge gap where his childhood memories should be. What's more, Jake is tormented by the worst kind of nightmares. Nightmares he's not even sure are his. 

Tormented by dreams and visions that threaten his sanity, he must find their source in order to understand and banish them. 

His hunt will take him to a run-down seaside town, to the place where he was raised and also 40 years back in time, to what he must confront to release himself from the grip of the visions and also to discover the hidden memories. 

However, he will discover things about himself he did not dare imagine. Things he really didn't want to know. 

And he will also discover that not everyone is what they appear to be. Those revelations will expose a darkness and horror that no one should have to confront. 

Sometimes a lie is preferable. 

Some truth is best left undiscovered....

BACK AND FORTH

A great tale that takes you back to a much earlier time in Shaun's career,
Very well written with great twists and turns,
give it a try.

Worst ever.

I have loved Shaun Hutson books for years.Especially the Doyle sagas.I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every book, so it was a huge disappointment that I found Progeny very slow going and a lack lustre, often dare I say 'boring', story. Even the end was abrupt and a relief to finish it.
I can't believe that I am saying this about the 'Master of Gore' Shaun Hutson. But don't let me sway you from reading/listening to Progeny. Make up your own mind.

Slow build to an anticlimax.

Promising start which quickly turns into a very slow build up. As the story starts to get interesting, falls into a climax that felt rushed and lazy.
