Product Description
Review
'A complex and fast-paced conspiracy thriller of Old Norse myth, Ancient Egyptian superstition and Christian secret societies. With codes, runes, hidden maps, archaic symbols, it's a treat for all fans of Steve Berry, Raymond Khoury and Dan Brown!'
(Kate Mosse, author of LABYRINTH )Product Description
In the year 1013, Viking warriors raided an Egyptian tomb and unknowingly stole the greatest secret of the Old Testament.
When a quirky archaeologist finds ancient Viking parchments containing runes and riddles, his mundane life is changed for good. These codes lead him on a quest for clues in mysterious places, from Egyptian tombs to antiquarian bookshops.
Powerful forces are against him, but he manages to unveil a religious cover-up with potentially fatal consequences.

I highly recommend this book! Tom Egeland is one of the best authors I've come across in this genre for a long, long time. It's gripping, intelligent, fast-paced entertainment at its very best - and extremely well written on top. All the characters are very believable, especially the main charcater is a completely joy, the plot complex and intricate and the pace breathtaking without detracting from the story.
If you ever need a good read, here's your book. I hope there will be many more Tom Egeland books published in the near future.

Quite a good page turner, but although full of interesting accurate details, some of the story a bit far fetched regarding ease of crossing country borders. The book is a good read, and the author has a brilliant insight into historical accuracy and geographical details, I would recommend the books for a good holiday read.

Don't get me wrong, this is a good book. The quote on the cover saying it is "a treat for fans of Dan Brown" does it a disservice - unlike Dan Brown, this book is well written and... Read more
