Product Description
From the Back Cover
The Church is in turmoil – desperate to keep the discovery of an ancient scroll a secret. So desperate – it is prepared to kill…
A shockingly realistic thought-provoking thriller that will keep you riveted from first page to last.
'A highly original premise, coupled with fascinating characters, propels 'The Judas Testament' towards a spellbinding finale.'
NELSON DeMILLE
'This is the sort of book that mega-seller Jack Higgins might hope to write when he grows up.'
THE TIMES
''The Judas Testament' is well in the front row of this year's thrillers.'
DOUGLAS HURD, 'Daily Telegraph'

This book started exceptionally well but it did seem to lose pace later on. However, I did enjoy it and I found some parts of it absolutely fascinating. If you like conspiracies, then this is one of the biggest.

'The Judas Testament' starts off very promisingly but fails to deliver. The story is at first intriguing but it deteriorates into something that is not quite plausible or interesting. The main character alternates between being weak and sometimes suddenly heroic and this makes him unconvincing. One finds oneself loosing interest in him and therefore the story. Easterman may be a good writer but in this book he produces a story that fails to deliver all that it promises and where the seams are too visible.

I found this novel below the usual Easterman standard. The book starts very well but then deteriorates steadily all the way to the muddled ending. It gives the impression of an author having to churn out a novel in a hurry to fulfil a publisher's contract.
I found it disconcerting to have characters lecturing each other on topics as diverse as European politics, WW2 or liberation theology in multi-page monologues. As a method of filling in background info it is very obvious. What happened to Ambrose Bierce's famous dictum of 'show, don't tell'?
I much preferred Easterman's Far-East novels, such as The Ninth Buddah and Incarnation.
