I have started reading books where from the very beginning, I lost interest.This book was not one of those.The more I read, the more intrigued I got and I couldn't put it down.I don't wont to give the story away so I'll just say that it has a little bit of everything, action, politics, war, Archaeology, Journalism, far off lands, and a little religion thrown into the mix.Although all the characters were very strong, my favorite was Lina, a Journalist who takes her job a little too much to the extreme.With all the twists and turns within the book, I had to chuckle when nearing the end of it Lina mentions maybe writing a book about the whole adventure and remarked that "It had worked for Dan Brown."I felt as though I was right there in the middle of all the action. A great read.The author is very talented, she has considerable imagination and a well executed plot. You can't ask for much more than that. Very enjoyable, and I will definitely be buying more from her in the near future.
