Echoes from the past guides Arthur Malory on a dangerous quest for the Holy Grail. Seems that Mr. Cooper has once again woven an impossible tale or maybe for some one that is almost believable.
Arthur Mallory works at a scientific science research center and spends his spare time combing the countryside with his metal detector and is interested in finding the Holy Grail. Then enters a mysterious woman warning him of danger….an adventurous traipse starts through Britain, Europe and the Middle East ….
Told through deferent time periods:
England, 15th century with Sir Thomas Malory and his lifelong search for the Holy Grail…the famous tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table….and it goes on and on and on.
England, the present day with scientist and amateur archaeologist Arthur Malory following a centuries-old trail of clues left by his ancestor.
This thriller is a mix of Arthurian legend, medieval secrets and cutting-edge science I surely felt very similar to Dan brown’s religious thrillers I enjoyed very much. It gives us a story with all the great elements of religious, historical one can expect from Mr. Cooper but was this plot as engaging? What happened? I Expected a story with action with good character development, it met my expectation for the first 80 pages or so then the story turned, it became a little disjointed, familiar and very predictable. I totally lost interest and of course reading became tedious……too much information dumps, very boring result….
Totally disappointed with this one.
My thanks to Book Whisperer for the copy I received via Negalley for my thoughts: this is the way I see it
