While an interesting premise, as other reviewers have said the author tends to lecture on areas that the reader needs to know to follow the conspiracy. I enjoy the characters in these novels, and will definitely read the next book in the series, whenever it is released. ( )

Had high hopes for this but really didn't like it. It was a waste of time. The lead char is a Mary Sue and wish fulfillment of the author. I would rather have read a nonfiction of the author's real experiences than this.

The plot was incredibly linear. There's a clue, he follows the clue to another clue and then another. No real tension. Just blah. ( )

"What do you get if you cross Indiana Jones with Dan Brown? Answer: David Gibbins" -- the review by the 'Mirror'. Well, not quite... it does have some of the makings of Indiana Jones, but less intense. Also some of the ingredients of Dan Brown, but less suspense.

I liked it a little better compared to 'Atlantis' (which contained too much technical information, as far I am concerned). But just like 'Atlantis', the crux of the novel was to get to the archaeological artifact before the 'other party'. I would have classified this book as a thriller, and as such would have expected a little more action. Based on that, I give it only 2½ stars. ( )

Book description
Jack Howard is about to discover a secret. Perhaps the greatest secret ever kept.

What if one of the Ancient World's greatest libraries was buried in volcanic ash and then re-discovered two thousand years later? What if what was found there was a document that could shatter the very foundations of the Western World? What if you were the one who discovered this secret? And were then forced to confront terrifying enemies determined to destroy you to ensure it goes no further?



This is the story of one last Gospel, left behind in the age of the New Testament, in the greatest days of the Roman Empire, and of its extraordinary secret, one that has lain concealed for years. Follow Jack Howard as he discovers the secret and must prevent others from doing the same.
