Review: The book began with an interesting if impossible premise and had so many directions it could have taken...

Too bad that the author took the easy way out with a valueless and predictable end. I found it to be disjointed and difficult to follow a number of times during my reading because the author kept shifting back and forth through time without any warning. Premise was flimsy and not very well thought out.  Many of the characters are flawed and one dimensional...their dialog stilted, unbelievable.  The book began well enough with the archeologist priest and his assistant finding some artefacts that reveal something amazing as the story was building, but then the author leapt off into unrealistic cloning.  The Vatican and its hierarchy are evil men looking to suppress dark secrets/truth in order to save their own cushy world and somehow the Mafia gets sucked into the story with murder and mayhem.  I hate starting a book and not finishing it...but in this case I wish I hadn't, I was left feeling cheated when the story finally collapsed on itself and the author took the easy way out.
