What an achievement by author Ian Caldwell. To write something that is entertaining from begining to end and also teach us about past history. I'll admit I was brought up Catholic so the religious aspects of the book made it that much more intriguing. I don't know how this book would read for somebody with no interest or background in Catholicism. I suspect that is why this books rating is not over four. It is compared to Dan Brown's work but far exceeds it. Certainly not light reading like Dan Brown.
