Book Description: Tom Bohannon's discovery of an ancient scroll led him on an international adventure and through mysteries of faith and politics, ending in a place not even he could imagine: the Third Temple of God hidden under Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Wondering how to recover from such a momentous find, Tom's adventures are not over. The final days are upon them, yet no one knows how much time is left—a year? A hundred years? A thousand?
My Thoughts: This is the first book I've read by Terry Brennan. The Sacred Cipher is the first book in this series. Somehow I missed the Sacred Cipher but decided to go ahead and read The Brotherhood Conspiracy first. Not having read The Sacred Cipher first didn't seem to hinder the story of The Brotherhood Conspiracy. So, I feel that these are stand alone reads.
Mr. Brennan is quite a detailed writer. He, also, writes with a flair that keeps the reader turning the pages. Pages that are filled with taunt suspense . . . "Leonidas was startled when the cell phone rang. A blocked number. He was expecting no calls. But . . ." (from p. 114)
I loved the suspense of this read! Chapter Two begins with Tom Bohannon in bed when he is suddenly, with heart pounding, awakened to feel that there is someone in the room, in the house, he must "fight" his way to the kitchen to keep his family safe! only to find that his son had dropped the milk. But that's only the beginning!
Since Tom has found the ancient scroll what mysteries of faith is he yet to go through? What is this journey all about? And where will his faith lead him?
I found this to be a quite intriguing read! A lot of history is interwoven through out the read, especially ancient history. A lot to be learned from history.
