# The Essence - Paperback

[**Report copyright infringement**](https://reportcopyrightinfringement.com/)

by **Dave Hutchinson** (Author)

There is a phenomenon - a force, a spirit, a flaw in Reality - known as **_the Essence_**, which can manifest at random, often with dire effect.

Michael Brookes, an economist working for a small outstation of MI6 attached to the Treasury, is sent to the Netherlands by his department, where he narrowly escapes being kidnapped; and that's just the start of his problems. Michael has never heard of **_the Essence_**, but some very powerful people believe otherwise. Despite his protestations, they will stop at nothing to discover what he knows.

The problem is that Michael, who is recovering from a catastrophic breakdown, has large gaps in his memory... So he can't rule out the possibility that they might be right.
