    About this ebook

    The riveting sequel to the international bestseller The Sacred Bones, Michael Byrnes’s The Sacred Blood is a provocative, heart-racing thriller in the Dan Brown mode while adding a bold new twist to the genre. A heart-stopping story that blends archeology, history, science, and religion, The Sacred Blood concerns a race to possess the world’s most powerful relic as the clock ticks down to Armageddon. Action-packed and full of surprises, here is high-octane entertainment for lovers of The Da Vinci Code, The Lost Symbol, and the New York Times bestselling Sigma Force novels of James Rollins.

      This is a retelling of the story of the death of Jesus, what happened to his bones, the Ark of The Covenant and 2000 year old prophecies which brings it all together in modern Jerusalem. Remembering that this is fiction of course this is not a bad read right up to the end. The ending was very disappointing and took the conventional path that big events don't actually happen and evil doers are always thwarted at the end, especially when it comes to world changing events. But in this case the evil doers weren't really all that evil, just misguided and side tracked. And then days later it was as if nothing had happened.

      Apart from the ending I enjoyed this.

      So my second favourite genre to read would be religious conspiracies/thriller books and The Sacred Blood is just that. I've read several types like Dan Brown and Michael Byrnes and each time that I do I get pulled right in, until just about the end. Each novel is about 'exposing' the religious truths that the church (or in this case synagogue) are hiding from the world. The ideas behind the stories are interesting and believable, almost. Where the author will lose me is with too much mystical mumbo jumbo. I have a low tolerance for the supernatural or a sparkly magic box, this to me is not believable. Yes, I am a heathen and I'm sure some might call blaspheme, but I accept that. Byrnes had me until the box was a sparkly lightening bolt.

      These books are great fun, preposterous, but great fun.
