Review

...well-written with solid characterization, a credible and compelling plot, and a good pace...I highly recommend this book. -- Kevin Aguanno, TCM Reviews

From the Publisher

In his provocative new novel, The Papyrus Document, author Michael Cole dares to explore a highly controversial theme: the Marium-Jesus Theory, which postulates Jesus survived the crucifixion, traveled to India, and lived to a ripe old age.

A visibly shaken Pakistani archeologist leaves a set of biblical passages and a safe-deposit key with Natalie Rowe, a forensics pathologist, and confides in her that he's stumbled upon an ancient document which will shed light on a major Christian premise.

When he is murdered, Natalie and Mushtaq, his son, work feverishly to decipher the code in the biblical passages in an effort to locate the safe-deposit box and the mysterious document contained therein. Their search leads them to a sacred Muslim shrine in the Indian-occupied portion of Kashmir. An astounding discovery provides evidence that Jesus' remains are interred in the shrine. Had Jesus survived the Crucifixion?

The dramatic climax will leave you reeling.

4.0 out of 5 stars Story Without Controversy, February 20, 2006

This review is from: The Papyrus Document (Paperback)

Michael Cole has written a thought-provoking second novel which is a worthy read for anyone who likes action and adventure about some controversial theories and speculations about Christ's post crucifixion. The story is clear, focused and the characters are intriguing. Mr. Cole's ending is plausible. I would of preferred a more controversial ending. But perhaps the perceived reaction of the Middle East and Christian worlds weight heavily on the author's mind.
