If you like the Dan Brown type exciting thriller then I would recommend taking a chance on The Lazarus Succession. I’ve read all by Dan Brown but I feel even though this isn’t from a major publisher or, at least yet, by a famous author, there are a lot of great ideas bubbling away within. Divine powers, biblical references and treasure hunters searching for lost relics. Could even be a screenplay for the next Indiana Jones. Give it a go. ( )
