5.0 out of 5 stars Another great thriller by Becker, May 4, 2010

This review is from: The Moses Stone (Chris Bronson) (Mass Market Paperback)

Last year I picked up a copy of The First Apostle, the first novel by James Becker, and was pleasantly surprised. The book was well written, with an exciting story, interesting characters and lots of interesting historical details. So, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Becker had written another novel about Chris Bronson. I just finished reading it and liked it even better than the first one. There is more interesting historical background (with lots of additional information at the end of the book) and again the story really drives the book along. Of course the story seems a bit familiar and of course there are all kinds of coincidences and the two main characters manage to escape death again and again. But, hey, it's a thriller!! And it's refreshing to hear the main character mentioning a couple of times that it's not all worth the effort and maybe they should forget about the chase...

Anyway, I found myself racing through the book and looking up more information on the internet about the sites and artifacts mentioned in the book. So, if you liked The DaVinci Code and are looking for another exciting thriller, you should definitely give this one a try. And the best news? In December the third novel will be published and I can't wait to get my hands on that one!!

This review is from: The Moses Stone (Chris Bronson) (Mass Market Paperback)

A couple is killed after finding a tablet that is a piece of the world's history. When a detective named Chris investigates, he realizes that his job is asking him to bite off a lot more than he can chew. He is forced to delve into the past and try to solve a mystery that pre-dates biblical times. Will he be able to crack the case or will this mystery go unsolved for the rest of time?

This is a thriller through and through! If you like a good mystery with a great plot and likable characters, you will happily drown yourself in this book from beginning to end.

We were on vacation.. and I had forgotten to bring something to read. The synopsis sounded intriguing.. so, I bought it! What a lovely introduction to James Becker's writings! The suspense grabs you in the beginning.. and takes you on one heckuva a ride!

I haven't looked yet.. but, I'm REALLY hoping.. that there are a whole batch of his books that I've not read. On my way to look and buy!
