Ultimate power is the prize for whomever seizes ...

    • 3/5
      An outrageously, action-packed and dangerously adventurous read about good vs. evil.
    • 3/5
      Vance Erickson is given the task of tracking down some missing pages from a Da Vinci Codex. The chase leads to Italy and involves many twists and turns. With church and military manufacturers intertwined in a relationship to to develop a new super weapon.
    • 5/5
      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.
