The Guardians of the Covenant: An Epic Quest for the Bible's Darkest Secret
While it might be tempting to refer to Egeland as the Scandinavian Dan Brown, it is important and interesting to note that the Norwegian author was crafting conspiracy thrillers years earlier than Brown. In Egeland’s latest page-turner, he has combined bits and pieces of Norse legend, Egyptian mythology, and the Bible with cryptic codes, ciphers, runes, and symbols that have potentially shattering implications for Christianity. When a colleague who has just unearthed an ancient Viking manuscript is murdered, albino archaeologist Bjorn Belto reluctantly undertakes another globe-spanning quest to unearth the truth. Egeland moves the plot back and forth across the globe and through time with ease, allowing the clues to pile up as the tension builds. Scandinavian mysteries in general are hot and Egeland is still at the top of his game, so expect demand from individuals readers and book clubs. --Margaret Flanagan--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
