The Last Testament by Sam Bourne
4.0

This was a solid political/archeological thriller with Biblical overtones. Nothing nearly as religiously deep or controversial as The DaVinci Code, but a similar concept. I won't drop any spoilers, but I will say the whole story was exciting and interesting enough to keep me turning the pages right up to the end. Unfortunately, in the final 30 pages, the author resorted to some very cliche' props: the bad guy spells out his whole story in front of a hidden camera that's feeding live to the Internet, then he and his team of heavily-armed henchmen just kind of slink away and all is right with the world again... Yeah. That's what I thought.

Still, I'm not sorry I read it, and for 410 pages, it was awesome. So try it out.
