On a Danish shore, a Vatican priest is found--hanging on a cross. The next day, the same crime is repeated...this time in Asia and Africa. Meanwhile, deep in the legendary catacombs near Orvieto, Italy, an archeologist unearths a scroll dating back two thousand years, revealing secrets that could rock the foundations of Christianity. Its discovery makes him the most wanted criminal in all of Europe. But his most dangerous enemies operate outside the law of man...
It was difficult to put down once you started reading it. I enjoyed it and have purchased his other two books. He is a good young writer!
Great Book!!

Ever since I read the Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown I have been trying to find books that are somewhat like it. I actually found this book while looking through a bookstore and read the reviews on it. I was amazed that there were reviews from Steve Berry (who is currently my favorite writer), and James Rollins (2nd favorite) wrote some great reviews on it, so I decided what the hell I would try it out. Well I was not disappointed at all. Wow!! I have to say I liked it better than the Da Vinci Code. Now I know a lot of people might disagree with me but the way it is written was fantastic. It kept me wanting to keep reading it and not put it down. And the way that he left little hints about what was going to happen at the end of some of the chapters, I loved it. Loved the characters and really didn't want the book to end. Great contraversial subject just loved it. There's not much more I c an say but if you like Steve Berry, Dan Brown, or James Rollins, try this book. You won't be disappointed!!!
Family Will Be Thankful

Having read Dan Brown and a few other of the Jesus conspiracy books, I found this one refreshing and highly entertaining. Completely coming from a different angle than most of the theorist books. I loved the banter between the two guys and how this book did not take itself seriously. Chris has a wonderful sense of humor that I found refreshing. The book has a bunch of subplots that all come together at the end of the book very nicely, ending quite differently than I imagined. I highly recommend this book, Chris is a great new writer and I enjoyed his book immensely.
Well paced, excellent work

It's not a literary classic by any means, but I just found the book to be extremely entertaining in the best way, I could compare to watching Terminator 2. It's not gonna win any Oscars for Arnold's acting or the direction, but it's a blast while you're watching it.
