Now the year is 1999, and humanity dreads the approaching twenty-first century, desperately in search of a saviour for this troubled world.
In New York City, Rosemary’s son Andy is believed to be that saviour. But is he the force of good his followers accept him to be? Or is he his father’s son? As the war between good and evil rages on unabated, the fate of humanity hangs in the balance, in this shocking and darkly comic novel from the modern master of suspense.
Customer Reviews
Do You Know Your Father
Rosemary continues where she left off in the last book, Rosemary's Baby, after waking from a 27 year long coma.
Throughout this time she has been well cared for in an expensive facility in New York.
She is now divorced, the staff address her as Miss Fountain not her previous married name or even her maiden name of Reilly.
The actual story is gripping, evil in it's everyday prosaic clothes. That is the trouble with bad people, they rarely come stamped with their bad intentions. If only they did how much easier life would be all round.
None of us would be led down the wrong pathway by bad-uns such as Andy, the son of Rosemary and you know who. But do we actually know who he is in his physical incarnation, somehow this is left open.
Andy seems to struggle with his dual identity and his physical manifestation.
But is he the bad boy, or is he being manipulated by unseen forces.
Is he manipulating Rosemary for his own gratification beyond the bounds of normal mother son inter-action. Only time will tell.
However I gave it four stars as I didn't think was as good a tale as Rosemary's Baby but still a lot better than many so-called best sellers. One in particular springs to my mind as being so gossamer thin that a child of five would see through the "heroine" in two minutes flat. But what do I know a writing a best seller.
