"The First Madonna" is the follow up book to Yvonne Crowe's "The Magdalene Conspiracy." This series is a harrowing journey for the two main protagonists, Nicolina Fabiani a Pulitzer prize winning journalist and David Baron, a Professor of Ancient Languages. These two are on the hunt for a secret and this journey takes them through the annuals of history touching on cuneiform to the Templar Knights. Think equal parts Dan Brown's "Da Vinci Code" and "Angels and Demons" along with Zecharia Sitchin works and Graham Hancock and you'll get an idea at the depth of the books plot and backdrop.An interesting twist to this series is the immense amount of research that the author has put into it. For fans of historical fiction, this one is a fun read. For fans of alternative historical fiction, this is going to be an enthralling read. The pace is fast, the action intense, the storyline captivating, the characters being three dimensional,  the historical implications enlightening, thus making for an incredible read that will leave you wanting to know more, especially after the fascinating events that taka place at the end of the book at the  archaeological dig. This one will leave you thinking for sure. An excellent book, well written and worthy of the most hard core alternative history buffs.
