Wow! This was a good, fast-paced, mystery-adventure book. It reads like a movie where each disparate group of characters are interesting and you can't wait to see how they will converge. The author quickly advances the momentum of this modern adventure. Mr. Blum lightly focuses on specific Bible history, modern military, spies, and politics which are pertinent to the search for the real Mt. Sinai -- this isn't confusing and adds to the intrigue. I'm keeping my copy, for now, to read again - it only takes a couple of sittings! The down side was, I treated this just like an "Indiana Jones" novel, as I felt it sometimes had a light or glancing touch on the scary situations. I also wanted to "feel" or "care" more for these two main fellows, but what they were doing was unethical and illegal; so, perhaps it is that I really do not identify or empathize with them.
