Editorial Review:
Genetic engineering or cloning terror? Forty years after the final battle between the rulers of the world, Sir Harold Chapple, a British billionaire lord, is torn by his conflicting beliefs. He will have to decide and choose sides between British intelligence and advocates and their activists allies calling for the fall of the new world order and the reversion to the era of technology and civil rights. Sir Harold, or ‘Duke’, chose to defend the new world order as the supposedly peaceful revolution took a turn into a more violent aggression dominated by militant militia leaders. Duke assembled a team of six — two gorgeous women and the best in the field of science, electronics, explosives, and coercion — and began his assault on Karl, the man believed to be behind this bloody new war. This is a novel full of breathtaking action, love scenes, and shocking surprises, and you will be kept in the dark guessing each move until the fascinating end.

REVIEW
"No one expected the anti-technology revolution led by few radical activists would win this peaceful and unbloody conflict. Supporters of the so called 'libertà di technologia' were stunt by an overwhelming international support leading to a whopping majority vote by the United Nations members banning technology beyond year 2007.
The end of the forty-year peaceful era instigated by the second coming of the so-called 'Christ' was about to see birth. Signs of social decay were obviously reflected in people's lifestyle, and morale malaise swept the new world, or God's Kingdom on earth according to Christian faith."
Thus begins this sci-fi action novel set in Britain in the year 2047, in which bad guys such as the devil, a cloned semi-human, and various other evil characters do battle with the forces of good, exemplified by operative Sir Harold Chapple (known as "Duke") and his women, Arielle and Fila. The action begins when Duke accepts an assignment from the head of British Intelligence to investigate suspicious activities involving DNA manipulation and cloning. The novel covers a lot of ground, with a very complicated plot and a huge cast of characters that includes computer and explosives experts, the British Intelligence operatives, reporters, various scientists, terrorists, agents, hired killers, and even the butler who raised Duke.
The plot is fast moving; it's a good thing the author provides an explanatory list of the more than forty characters. Incubus Immortal Seed unravels an action drama in the style of James Bond where beautiful women and daring men maneuver their way through seemingly impossible odds, keeping the reader guessing with technology and cool smarts. Readers of this cloak-and-dagger novel need to be aware that libidos run high, there are scenes involving tortuous ways to kill people, and plenty of coarse language. The title gives a hint of what evil is involved as "incubus" means "one who has sex with women while they are sleeping."

INCUBUS IMMORTAL SEED
Author: TONY CHOUFATI
The Mission: Secret intelligence Service: Classified - project Capture and Eliminate. The images taken by hidden camera in Mein-Welt laboratory; show a new process, discovered by Ayumi Ishimuru a Nobel Prize winning scientist. Using the DNA jumper, and complex microscope, DNA from sperm can be activated to transpose from one position to another, thus taking new genetic molecules forming brand-new DNA. After the isolation of the desired sperm the specimen is sent to a small-uninhabited island of the coast of Japan. Embryo Cloning? We at S16 believe we know who is behind the operation recruiting the best physicians and lab technicians, but we do not know the purpose or when these discoveries will be put to use. You have 24 hours to accept this mission.
This compelling tale of intrigue and espionage begins in the year 2047 when an underground faction opposes and attempts to undermine the new world order. Forty years have passed since the battle of Armageddon and religion and faith have seamlessly united, eliminating war and conflict. Sir Harold Chapple and his lover, Arielle must put together a team of dangerous criminals to assist them with a mission that takes them from Britain, to Madrid, to the Himalayas and beyond.
The author brings the characters to life1With vivid, flamboyant description-"andcomplex personalities. Our protagonist, Sir Harold Chapple, nicknamed "Duke"; a handsome, self-indulgent British billionaire sets out to discover the whereabouts of a complex microscope and a DNA jumper. His quest also demands he uncover and destroy his evil enemy Karl Moses, said to be the resurrection of Satan himself. Accompanying Duke on his mission is Arielle his lover, an alluring, beautiful British agent. One of Duke's recruits, Mullah Fila-Farnaz Tarazi is provocative and beguiling but a cold-blooded, ruthless killer. Assassin Saleem abu-Hamza and an explosives expert, Meir Goldbloom make a dangerous addition to the team. Add to this a physician, nicknamed "The Butcher of Madrid" and a scientist who has perfected cloning and the team of unlikely partners is complete. Each of the characters has an underlying conflict or agenda, further complicating matters.
Choufati's convoluted novel defies easy classification. It is a hard-boiled novel of mystery and political intrigue, with scientific overtones. It contains religious connotations yet is comprised of violent and sexually explicit scenes. Holding his readers' attention are the quick twists and turns of the sometimes, frightening plot.
Incubus Immortal Seed is Tony Choufati's second novel. Reference is made in this story to his previous book "Sealed". His experience in Computer science adds validity to the technical aspects of the novel. This suspenseful book shows the author's literary skill and imagination.
As a reviewer, every now and then you find a book that has everything: multifaceted characters, vigorous-pace, flamboyant descriptions and twists and turns that surprise and excite. Incubus Immortal Seed is one of those books. This one will definitely keep you guessing right to the end. Bravo Tony! Shirley Roe, Allbooks Reviews

Incubus Immortal Seed
Tony Choufati
2003, PublishAmerica
No one will ever say that Tony Choufati lacks imagination. His far-reaching thriller, Incubus Immortal Seed, defies the traditional sub-genres of contemporary fiction. Predominantly science fiction, it also incorporates elements of military theory, technological research, sex, religion, and all out suspense. Choufati has worked in the field of computer science since the early 1980's, and he has inevitably drawn on his vast knowledge in this area to create this convoluted, fascinating tale.
Incubus Immortal Seed takes place in Britain in the year 2047, forty years after Armageddon and also following a UN resolution to ban technological advancement after the year 2007. This new world enjoys peace and serenity, brought together by the synthesis of faith and religion, but a constant sense of unrest threatens the integrity of this unbalanced civilization. What could be missing from a world without war or strife? Human emotion, passion, enlightenment, and...sin. So the world in 2047 seeks the intervention of a wise leader to restore what they desperately need. Sir Harold Chapple is just the man they're looking for, but boy does he have his work cut out for him.
The problem: the UN resolution against technology has been breached. The British secret service knows about the secret DNA research being conducted at the Mein-Welt laboratory, and knows that new genetic molecules are being used to create new DNA. But why, and for what global application? Chapple and his lover, Arielle, must put together a team and find the missing microscope and DNA jumper within twenty-four hours. And not to put any further pressure on them, but the entire planet is at stake. Colorful personalities and the unlikely pairings between characters help to season an already spicy plot, full of conflict, obstacles, and that ever-tantalizing "ticking clock."

Incubus Immortal Seed
By Tony Choufati
Pub Info: TBA
Reviewed by Denise M. Clark - 4/03
An overwhelming vote by the United Nations banned any vancement in technology after the year 2007. Now, forty years has passed since then... since Armageddon changed the face of the earth and her people.
Since then, peace and satisfaction has reigned, both in political circles, and religious. Unfortunately, such peace and contentment has propagated nothing but boredom and a lingering sense of discontent.
The spice of life went missing - the spark that forced humankind to excel, to strive for greater purpose in life... and to care about others. And this missing element? Why, sin, of course. The search has begun for someone daring enough to reinstall that which is missing in the world of 2047... emotion... feelings... pride, in addition to competition and discovery. What the world needs is a man capable of restoring the feelings and emotions of the good people of planet Earth.
Sir Harold Chapple, better known as 'Duke' by those close to him, is just such a man. But his task is by no means easy. Danger, betrayal and death await him at every turn, as does the uncertainty of his future, and most especially, his future with Arielle, his protector and lover.
Incubus Immortal Seed is an ambitious work from author Choufati. The premise is captivating and the plot unique. Colorful characters grace each chapter, as do a plethora of desires, goals and subplots. Mr. Choufati is certainly a gifted storyteller, and will become an author to watch for in the near future. His ability to take an unusual premise and make breath life into it is a rare treat for those wishing to read something a little different. His desire to create memorable
characters is also to be admired, and though his main characters, Duke and Arielle, can at times be of 'superhero' status, they are also very human, with faults and problems that bring them down to earth for the reader, who can find within them something to relate to. If you're looking for a sci-fi or futuristic novel that offers a trip into the realm of very real though fantastic possibilities, this is a read for you.
