A very enjoyable read incorporating some quite intriguing and well thought out puzzles. Apparently the author is a leading authority on ancient cultures and the history of religious belief. This shines through in the detail that is provided through what has to be extensive research.
His heroine, Emily Wess, is a young university professor who is led on an ingenious quest by one of her mentors, a Keeper of the Ancient Library of Alexandria. The Keeper is a member of the Society, long protectors of the Library, but there is another faction, The Council, who seek the power that they believe that owning the Library could bring.
Mix in with this some quite serious American political intrigue, although this part of the story is not too intrusive, and a "chase" throughout Europe, and you have a highly engaging first novel. The ending is both innovative and satisfying.
I look forward to reading more from Mr Dean.… (mehr)

Een terroristische groepering jaagt op een sleutel die het mogelijk maakt om geheime geschriften te ontraadselen.
If you liked the davinchie code you will like this. it has many of the same elements in that the main character has to track down clues to save the world as we know it.
However if found this to be a better written and more believable novel. The main character is driven by curiosity and the need to protect those that she knows, the violence is not to graphic and their is less running arround and involvment of the various police forces.
I strongly recceomend this book

Ellos forman el Consejo y ansían el poder y la posición. Su corrupción se extiende desde los más altos niveles de gobierno a los asesinos empleados para la comisión de sus crímenes. Matarían por el conocimiento arcano de la biblioteca. Y Emily Weiss tiene exactamente lo que ellos buscan.… (mehr)
