This book is a fascinating, history packed novel of adventure and riddles. It has been compared to the Da Vinci Code, however, it is better in my opinion. It all begins with the Dom in Cologne being destroyed when a group of scientific terrorists come to find the first clue leading to a treasure of gigantic proportions. A group of american military scientists join with the Vatican on a journey through religious history to stop the terrorists from finding a weapon which can destroy the world.

Anyone looking for a good adventure.

What I loved about this book was that as you read, from the begining to the end, you can picture everything happening, almost seeing it on the wide screen tv. Of course, the background to the different places they go to is also fascinating.

I immediately went out and bought 3 more books by the author, James Rollins.

James Rollins is a genius when it comes to making modern scientic studies work with ancient beliefs and customs.

It is a very good read. One of those books where you have trouble putting it down. I know I rarely did.
