Route 666

Why the title? Simply because when I was 60 I wanted to spend a few weeks travelling route 66 which for various reasons did not materialise then recently I watched a TV cookery programme where the presenters/cooks were travelling route 66 as I was typing some notes for this book - and I thought about adding an additional 6 to the famous route. Hopefully no one will think this is a travel book wondering where route 666 is as it is not a route that we should desire. This book follows the route that Lucifer took from his creation onwards - travelling the road to Hell. (NB There have been many debates as to what this number means and whether it is in fact 666 but such a debate is not covered by this book. Neither will I be referring to whether 666 is a real physical mark of the beast which some believe will be tattooed on people's foreheads. Keep such images for Hollywood!)This is but a small offering on a vast topic. As with any of my books there are eloquent academic alternative tomes available on Satan/the devil but I aim to narrow down the questions theories and debates to a basic hopefully understandable though not necessarily agreeable version. I have attempted to capture the main points under three main headings: his beginnings his mission and his demise.
