| Pandaemonium | comment |
A novel by Scottish author Christopher Brookmyre, published in 2009.Pandaemonium is Brookmyre's 13th novel; it's a stand alone and it's a bit different from his other works. That being said, the style and tone is still very much recognizable as being Brookmyre's.Secluded somewhere in Scotland, the U.S. Army is carrying out a top-secret military experiment which has led to such astounding results they've called on the Vatican itself for advice and support: They fear they may literally have opened the gates to hell. The project's scientists, however, are not impressed with this explanation and even less impressed with the clergy taking control, and discord abounds.In the meantime a busful of Scottish teenagers and their put upon teachers are heading for the area's outdoor activity center where they will (officially) be spending the weekend therapeutically coming to terms with a fellow student having murdered a classmate before commiting suicide, or (realistically) gossiping, partying and getting drunk and high on what they've smuggled along and (optimistically) getting laid. The teens think the greatest challenges they will face this weekend are finding someone to hook up with, avoiding teacher detection and interference, avoiding ending up rooming with someone undesirable, and avoiding aggravating Big Kirk. They are, of course, very much mistaken. | |

Suspicious Video-Game Generosity | |
| Pandaemonium / int_5561eef8 | comment |
Suspicious Video-Game Generosity: Referenced. Adnan finds a shiny new shotgun and a box of shells outside the door to the Cathedral, and points out that this probably makes the Cathedral a Boss Room. Sendak argues that This Is Reality, and Adnan basically says 'yes, and in reality someone stashed an ammo supply here for a reason.' Sure enough, there's an eight-foot demon inside the chamber, not to mention Big Bad Cardinal Tullian. | |

The Reveal | |
| Pandaemonium / int_6b2b3b59 | comment |
The Reveal: Two big ones. Firstly, the 'demons' aren't even supernatural in origin, and are only so Axe-Crazy because, having been imprisoned, starved, and tortured, they ironically believe themselves to be in Hell. Secondly, it was Tullian, not Steinmeyer, who released the demons and sabotaged the anomaly, because he knew they weren't real demons all along and wanted to hide that knowledge. | |

| Pandaemonium / int_a70223 | comment |
Karma Houdini: Cardinal Tullian. Possibly. He doesn't die or anything, and he gets to be revered as a god, but he is also trapped in another dimension with no apparent technology beyond basic tools and clothing and no clear way of getting back. | |

Loners Are Freaks: What most people think of Matt and Marianne. It is, however, telling that Adnan — shown elsewhere to be more observant and a better judge of character than most — gets on well with both of them. | |

I Did What I Had to Do: Deconstructed. Tullian believes that he is in a holy war and, therefore, this is the case with regards to his crimes. He is quite emphatically demonstrated to be wrong. | |

Good Shepherd: Father Constantine Blake. Possibly subverted — not in the 'good', but in the 'shepherd': he isn't particularly pious, struggles to believe his own faith, and in the end it's left ambiguous whether he even considers himself Christian. | |

Evil Plan | |
| Pandaemonium / int_f2d8e3c2 | comment |
Evil Plan: Tullian rigs an experiment to apparently show holy water burning the 'demons'. He intends to destroy the facility with a disaster so terrible no-one will risk retrying the project, and subsequently release footage of the experiments. Thus, with apparent clinching proof and no way of repeating the tests, everyone will believe in demons and flock to the church. | |

Not Evil, Just Misunderstood | |
| Pandaemonium / int_f48d0f54 | comment |
Not Evil, Just Misunderstood: Kane muses that Robert Barker — who murdered a fellow student in the backstory — may have been this. This foreshadows the revelation that the 'demons' are just creatures from another dimension who attack humans because they believe that we are the demons. Bear in mind, however, that the demons that come through the anomaly appear to be ones that were sentenced to death in their own dimension. So they may have been evil after all, even if they didn't deserve the treatment they got. | |
