What a great adventure story! This book had everything I love in a good read, danger, treasure, religion, different locations and humour. Spanning over two thousand years it really kept me enthralled and I'm now off to start the next one. Oh, my! Now, this book is right up my street! It promises an exciting archaeological thriller spanning more than 2000 years and beginning with the fall of Jerusalem, it delivers exactly that! I was hooked from the beginning and read this easily in two days. I am quite a choosy reader and demand well written books, with great plots and believable characters. Bravo to the author. I enjoyed all the information provided along the way of the adventure, reminded me of all the trivial knowledge I picked up from Dan Brown novels.The various locations (what a place the catacombs are for an adventure) and the touches of humor were a major plus for me. I have already purchased more books from this talented author. Looking forward to more! This was a good book, there was times i couldn't put it down. would recommend this book to any avid reader.« less
