Nicholas Hyde, a humanitarian volunteer, is part of a team ambushed in the Congo. Most of the team are killed by small, pale ape-like creatures - called 'white devils' by a government observer, who later recants his story as part of a corporate cover-up. Nicholas, though, is determined to expose the truth.

Industry Reviews

McAuley continues to demonstrate that he's quite as adept at the multi-layered thriller as he was at the SF novel - although White Devils is powered by an intriguing scientific premise. Nicholas Hyde, a charity worker in Africa, is part of a team investigating a wartime atrocity. The team is ambushed, and small, preternaturally strong ape-like creatures slaughter most of the group. The team's government observer calls them 'white devils' and falls in with the official story, claiming that he saw only rebel troops in body paint. The cover-up seems to originate inside Obligate, the company that effectively owns the Congo. Nick Hyde refuses to co-operate - and that's when people around him start to die. This is a novel that exhilarates on all levels - the ideas are quite as brilliantly realised as the machine-tooled plotting.
