So … it seems like my reading tastes of late lean toward Christian thrillers. Not only do I enjoy most of them, I mentally travel to lands I will never physically visit, learn while I read, and oftentimes interrupt my reading to indulge in research.  The Alliance is one such book - the theme: returning a dead Russian Czar to power!  While it took me longer than usual to complete, I readily admit it was more involved than my mind could handle at this point in time.  Key players are a Jewish rabbi/detective, a Catholic priest, a Buddhist monk, and a Muslim.  An assortment of minor characters adds heightened interest.  Being unfamiliar with the dark side of “spirituality”, some rituals seemed far-fetched to me.  However, I found this to be an entertaining read as well as a constant eye opener.
