This started really well with lots of action, intrigue and excitement, but it fizzled out near the end and I was glad to finally finish it. ( ) The Diaries of Pontius Pilate is a first-rate action thriller and an outstanding debut from Joseph Max Lewis. From the moment you, the reader, abseil into the Israeli archaeological site near the Red sea you will be caught up with Kevin Elliott and Jill Gates, as they race against time to keep themselves and the artefacts that prove the crucifixion of Jesus took place, safe from The Society - an international, covert and satanic league. The Society, surreptitiously exercises it's authority through any and all means, including police departments, the media and many more avenues. Meanwhile our intrepid pair, whilst realising that they have become more than just work colleagues and co-survivors, have no sure way of knowing whom they can trust. Nevertheless help comes from the most unlikely sources, both calculated and also by chance - ensuring that the Truth persists through The Essentials. This is a wonderful start to what could be a well appreciated faith thriller fiction series, of which many readers would like to see more of and it is not too dissimilar to the genre of Brad Thor. What is particularly noteworthy of this novel is that it clearly shows other authors that it is not necessary to use obscene language nor gratuitous scenes of an adult nature to produce a dramatic and page-turning action/special ops novel. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
The Diaries of Pontius Pilate opens when a member of an archeological team is murdered along the shores of the Dead Sea. We learn that the murderer and victim are both spies, observing the expedition and grappling with the fact that the team has just discovered some controversial artifacts. In fact, Archeologist Kevin Elliot and his Deputy, Jill Gates have unearthed twenty copper scrolls etched with the results of Pontius Pilate's year long criminal investigation into the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. They manage to open one scroll far enough to take a series of digital photographs of the writings and email them to a Professor of Ancient Latin for translation. Unaware of the scrolls content, Kevin and Jill are unprepared when they're caught between an ancient conspiracy of global power that's determined to destroy the scrolls along with everyone connected to them, and a small, fledgling volunteer group, the only force on earth that stands between Kevin, Jill and certain death. "Lewis has written a nail-biting thriller that jumps into action on page 1 and doesn't stop until you reach the back cover. Don't open this book unless you're sitting in a comfortable chair with good reading light, because you won't want to move." - Thom Lemmons, Christy award winning author of Jabez: A Novel, and Blameless. "Pontius Pilate's diaries . . . would rock the world if discovered today . . . Lewis's characters are muscular, violent, dedicated . . . and faithful . . . Good and evil remain at war . . . while an archaeologist possessing Pilate's scrolls is hunted down - Denny Bonavita, Editor and Publisher, Courier-Express / Tri - County Sunday (McLean Publishing Co. - Pennsylvania). "Joe Lewis and The Diaries of Pontius Pilate tantalize . . . as did "Raiders of The Lost Ark." . . The archaeologists who discovered the Diaries travel through a gauntlet . . . to bring those records to the public. Don't wait: . . . follow them in their quest " - Major Anthony F. Milavic, U.S.M.C. (Retired) and founder of MILINET. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
