I almost put this book down because of the purple prose, but I persevered. Critics compared it to The Da Vinci Code and to books by Brad Meltzer. Seems there is a genre of conspiracy books with a semi religious theme, although I don’t know the name of the genre. The oldest inhabited place on earth is the mysterious Citadel situated on a mountain in the Turkish city of Ruin in which the mysterious sacrament is guarded. The entire world learned about the Citadel when a young man seen hanging on the wall of the Citadel, with his body shaped in the form of the Tau cross, jumps to his death. His sister comes from the US to see his body; a police detective is assigned to this case; a mysterious outside group is trying to breach the Citadel; and a swarm of mysterious monks is determined to protect the Last Sacrament. It is filled with lots of violence and action and quasi religious rituals. If you liked The Da Vinci Code, you’ll probably like this and the sequel. It was a fun read for a change. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

That being said, this is only the first book in a trilogy. Perhaps this book was just the build up and the next will deliver something more. Not sure yet if I'm going to read it to find out. ( )
