The First Apostle

Konnici na Liriite - Chevalier Du Lys

Za liriite! Za Tshesta! Za Smarta!” The Velikii Kniazz who rode at the forefront of the onslaught, his ensorcelled ebon blade hewing men to the left and cleaving men to the right, his grim eyes gleaming beneath his shimmering horned and plumed helm. The carnage of that first clash was phenomenal. The momentum threw the pikemen into shrieking disarray, and the vanguard of army fell back before the thundering resolve of the Orden attack. The baleful, pikes and spears took their toll upon the Konnici. But even that didn’t stop the mighty cataphracts which tore gloriously into the foremost rank of pikemen. They continue their sprint as nothing had happened. In their pass hundreds of soldiers lay in the ground trampled beneath the horses’ hooves. The sound of bones cracking smothered beneath the moaning of the pikeman. Caught by leprous swords and spears, men and mounts fell screaming to the dusty earth, where they were mercilessly rent and devoured by the slavering swords of the each other side.

This is a fast paced thriller (aren't they all?) that really never let you take a deep breath of relief. It's a book that will leave you hooked until the very end. I enjoy it but it's not the best thriller out there about this theme but it's a new perspective/theory about Christ and Christianity.

You can tell that the writer researched lengthily about the theme and combines conspiracy theories already out there with a fresh new one.

Bronson & Angela (ex-married) try to uncover a 2000 year secret that already had kill their best friend. You've got Mafia and Mother Church conspiring so the secret remains hidden (or at least safe) and so on. The usual.

The secret itself is quite interesting Nero had "Saint Peter and Saint Paul" to propagate a turn-the-other-cheek religion to suppress the Rebelling Jews in one of their provinces? New, but why should he do it? Nero is famous for the persecution of the first Christians and killer of Peter and Paul

I will read the second book but I really hope the next conspiracy theory is better...
