Comments: This was 4-5 hours of enjoyable-enough diversion. Not really worth going into the plot - if you know this author, you know the characters already, and pretty much how the plot is going to play out.
One thing did surprise me a little. As I read, I kept noticing little ripoffs of The Da Vinci Code plot - there were ancient legends (you know... the real facts that the early church didn't want people to hear... ), secret societies sworn to hide the truth at all costs, people murdered when they got too close, etc. I checked the publish date and, sure enough, this book came out roughly a year after Da Vinci, just about the time that Dale Brown was really raking in the dough. I suppose this is par for the course for mass market authors, but it was a little surprising to see someone as well known as Cussler be quite so obvious about it.
