Having read this book, it is easy to see where the idea came from for Dan Brown's "The DaVinci Code" since it so closely copies what is written in this book.
The DaVinci Legacy is a fantastic read. I enjoyed it very much. The characters are richly developed and the plot thickens with each turn of the page.
An outrageously, action-packed and dangerously adventurous read about good vs. evil.
