Pero cuando lo contratan para hallar un antiguo manuscrito que podría salvarle la vida a una niña moribunda, se embarca en la búsqueda más letal de su carrera. El manuscrito contienen la fórmula del elixir de la vida que el brillante alquimista Fulcanelli descubrió hace décadas. Pero enseguida se pone de manifiesto que hay otros que ambicionan ese tesoro tan preciado con fines mucho más perversos...

Gave up on the audiobook. I found the narration pedestrian.

I know I read the book many years ago as I remember one of the key twists. I don’t recall disliking it as I do the audiobook. Possibly it is the amount of swearing, which I find grates more when listening as opposed to reading. Possibly it has to do with the nature of the characters, none of whom I can care about. Possibly it is the slow, deliberate pace of narration which gives more time to be aware of the flaws of plot and dialogue. ( )

Not my usual fare at all but a good enough read especially at 99p for the kindle version. More action than conspiracy with a bit of codebreaking and a hint of romance. Beach material. ( )

It doesn't matter what order you read these books in. I have read some of the later ones and it is now obvious just how far Mariani has come over the years. This novel has some clunky writing, linguistic errors and needs a bloody good edit. These aren't the only ways in which it is influenced by Dan Brown. Take chapter six. There is no connection established between alchemy and the Cathars, but having mentioned them both in the same chapter, the protagonist assumes that there is. Which is lucky, as it turns out to be the plot of the novel.

On the other hand, there are signs that Mariani knows what he's doing. There's a Hero with a Thousand Faces approach with two calls to action, the first refused. Later, Roberta's capture echoes the capture of Han Solo, and Hope's reaction echoes Luke's two rescue attempts, walking openly into Jabba's lair and also the confrontation with Vader at Cloud City where he gets offered a job.

Despite a slackened pace in the middle part of the novel, it is overall a fun, easy read. ( )

The first of the Ben Hope series, and it has hooked me into the ones that follow. ( )
