Set in the near future, it covers the show trial of an eminent molecular biologist, Brian Matterosi, who stands accused of genocide for unleashing a series of viruses that cause sterility in most of the human population. The International Criminal Court ( ICC ) at the Hague is the setting for this subtle satire on our transnational institutions. The ICC is trying to engineer a guilty verdict to try to diffuse the global unrest that has broken following the public’s comprehension of what has happened. The accused has acquired a hard-bitten New York defence lawyer who specialises in complex cases. Opposing him is a young charismatic South African Zulu and of course the sparks fly !To say more would be to reveal too much but one further comment is relevant. Stull employs the well-established device of a “ story within a story “to explain Matterosi’s motives. For some reason it reminded this reviewer of Philip K. Dick’s “ The Man in the High Castle “ but Stull’s ending is muchmore satisfying !The reviewer is, I suspect, an EU insider which informs his writing on global organisations. Intriguingly, he does not give any indication of what he really thinks of them. He reminds me of the quote from the late Alistair Cooke : ‘ the mark of a great political columnist is - you never know which way they vote’! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Debut Novel *by A***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 May 2015* As a fan of fictional thrillers I have read quite a few, but for a debut novel, The Hydra ranks up there with the best of them. The opening chapter sets the scene for a highly enjoyable read in which the short chapters draw the reader in and encourage you to read more in this morally sensitive political thriller. For me, the sign of a great book is that once you start reading it, you don’t want to put it down; I read this in a short space of time, as the story line gripped with me with such intensity that any free time I had, I used it to find out how the story unfolded. The plot and character development are superbly blended together and despite my knowledge of fictional thrillers, the brilliant ending still managed to catch me by surprise. If you want a great read that is relevant to our world today, don’t hesitate in getting this book…it’s fantastic! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommended *by S***I on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 June 2015* The Hydra of this story is not a multi headed beast as in the Greek legend and does not have to be killed by Heracles, but it does pose a real threat to the world and it's future.This is a brilliantly original debut novel from a young up and coming writer, set in the near future with a realistic scenario of what could happen. Intelligent writing with a few twist and turns, make it a very compelling read.Highly recommended. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/56585720-the-hydra](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/56585720-the-hydra) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
