Review: Classic action/adventure with archaelogical plot
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 10 17, 2013
Fairly standard action/adventure plot based on a Biblical archaelogy framework. Good writing, fast pace, relatively good characterizations, definitely an 'Indiana Jones' feel to the action. Recent archaeological discoveries used very effectively and accurately in the plotline.In most cases, I find Biblical archaelogy and religion as a plot framework not very appealing as in too many cases it is simply a vehicle for presenting the religious beliefs of the author. This book walked a very fine line between Christian proselytizing and straight action/adventure and did it very well.Until the end, unfortunately. The Epilogue, for me personally, was not necessary and negated the nicely done tightrope walking between faith and science throughout the rest of the book. Dropped my rating one star because of this and probably won't read any more by these authors.
