Format:Paperback
I enjoyed Jonathan Freedland`s "The Righteous Men" a lot even though it was pure hokum; I quite enjoyed "The Final Reckoning". This book I found quite dreadful. I did not care about the characters (two dimensional) and I was desperate to finish this book. Too often writers in this genre feel that they have to produce a book of at least 500 pages. Fine if you have literary skills but the results can be quite dreadful if you haven`t. This book should have been cut by at least 200 pages. Eric Ambler with this material might have produced something good.

Totally implausible plot. Completely unbelievable characters.
Sam Bourne lost me when the heroine had to log into Second Life to follow clues left there by an elderly Arab antiquarian.
Having nothing better to do at the time I carried on to the bitter end (although I'm embarassed to admit it!)
Don't waste your time or money.

Liek some others here I was not overly impressed with this novel and found it jumping around all over the place at the start with characters appearing and disappearing in a flash usually being murdered. Attempts to put the core of story in historical and religious context which is not easy admittedly but I found myself struggling to stay with this book , and my brother in law gave up pretty quickly. It does build up a head of steam eventually and some twists and turns work well but I could not really recommend if Im honest.

Good read, but predictable
This is a good book in a Dan Brown esk style. characters are interesting and the story is well researched. I did not need to read more than 3/4 chapters to guess the ending. Read more

Another Sam Bourne novel highly readable and hard to put down. It was a bit technical and hard to understand some of the thing said. Read more
