Having been an ardent reader of Robin Cook's novels, i did not except this from him; rather it came as a shocker to me. Firstly, it is not a medical thriller. Secondly, you get confused with the final plot. Overall it was a sheer waste of time !

I didn't think this was up to his previous books that I have read. I expect a medical thriller when I see "Robin Cook" but, this was more about religious history. ( )

A slight shift from his usual medical mystery genre in this Robin Cook thriller. Forensic pathologist, Jack Stapleton, and his buddies Shawn and James (now in the Catholic Church hierarchy) all have paths crossing when Shawn discovers a relic in underground Rome which could change the history and the future of the Catholic church.

I could not put this book down. Like I said, it was not as "medically oriented" as his other novels. It reminded me a bit of Dan Brown's DAVINCI CODE, but still was a good stand alone drama. ( )

Hated this. didn't read past the 4th chapter.

A promising start; but a disappointing finish. A rather ridiculous tale regarding the possible find of the Virgin Mary's bones and the ensuing events involving three old friends; one a regular on Cook's novels: Jack Stapleton. All in all a bust in my opinion. Cook should stick to tales utilizing his medical expertise and leave theology alone. ( )
