In a celebrity-obsessed world can absolute celebrity fame and idolisation be exploited to gain absolute power. . . opening the gates of hell. . . ? At a worrying time when the once-clear line between celebrity stardom and political leadership on the world stage has become blurred, a handsome brooding Romanian street hustler emerges in Britain as a new messiah. Initially Serghei' s goal is to become famous as a talented magician, but, when his Svengali-like manager convinces the public that Serghei' s magic is real and he has God-given powers, then an explosive chain reaction is sparked, which cannot be stopped. Serghei' s meteoric rise to fame turns into adulation and his charismatic charm encourages hero worship to the point of deification. Dark political forces spot the immense potential of this new messiah and underhandedly usurp his mass popularity for their own ends. . . lifting the lid on a Pandora' s box which threatens British democracy. . .
Tony Nicholson started his showbiz career in the 1970s as a comedy scriptwriter, writing jokes for no less than The Two Ronnies. He then became a television producer, making entertainment programmes for all the major channels, and earning him a highly-prized BAFTA Award for a TV magic show. The two professions sat comfortably side by side throughout his working life - both writer and producer. . Tony Nicholson is the author of Shut That Door! the definitive biography of Larry Grayson and The Squire Of Knotty Ash . . . And His Lady An intimate biography of Sir Ken Dodd. He has been married for over forty years and has two grownup sons. Originally from Yorkshire he now lives by the sea on the south coast of England.
