Michael Sinclair and Bruce Plantard didn’t expect much as part of the student archaeology trip to Somerset, England. And they certainly didn’t expect to discover the journal of the first Baldwin King of Jerusalem in the student excavation of Mendips mine. Neither did anyone else, and Michael and Bruce kept it to themselves. After all, they believed the journal contained clues to other hidden archaeological treasures in Mendips. Financed by Bruce’s Uncle Edmond, the two boys mount a secret return expedition. There, using the Baldwin papers and additional documents provided by the enigmatic Uncle Edmond, they discover a secret chamber containing what they believe to be the one true cross and the blood of Christ. This begins an adventure that leads us through a fascinating montage of religious fact and lore, history and legends, science and science fiction. Greg Cicio has skillfully blended these elements into a compelling story of discovery, murder, intrigue, and secret societies.

A Good Read,
By Guy Yasika (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Seed of the Dogwood Tree (Paperback)
If you are looking for a book to read this summer I highly recommend The Seed of the Dogwood Tree. Greg Cicio has the unique talent to blend the sciences of today with the lore of yesterday into a very entertaining story. The characters are real, modern and believable. I was easily able to put myself into the lead character's position and identify with him.

MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW,
This review is from: Seed of the Dogwood Tree (Paperback)
As I first began to read The Seed Of The Dogwood Tree, I was easily distracted, but by the time I got to Chapter four I was hooked. It is the story of Michael Sinclair and Bruce Plantard, who set out to do a student archaeology trip to the Mendip Mines of Somerset, England. What they found, the journal of the first Baldwin King of Jerusalem, started them on an adventure that would change the world.Feeling that the journal gave them clues to greater hidden treasure in Mendip, they are financed by Bruce's Uncle Edmond and a secret expedition is undertaken. Uncle Edmond also gives them some new documents and with those and the journal in hand they discover a secret chamber and what it contained was almost unbelievable. The excitement rose in the young men! Could they truly have discovered the cross that Jesus was nailed to? And what was in the jars that they had found? Could it be the blood of the Savior? I wanted to know. Trust me, this story is not easily figured out. Secret societies are discovered, murders uncovered,and the birth of a child conceived with whose seed? You'll hold your breath waiting to find out as all leads to a climax that you will not soon forget. Is it the story of the beginning, or the story of the end! This is the thought that you will ponder after reading this excellent novel by Greg Cicio. A Very good read!

Fascinating Fiction,
By Mary Davidson (Finger Lakes Region of Upstate NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Seed of the Dogwood Tree (Paperback)
This book is a fascinating fiction with a twist of the truth. You'll love the characters, and soon find that they will follow you long after you've finished reading the book. Perhaps there will be one character whom you will NEVER forget. "Seed Of The Dogwood Tree" is a wonderful combination of theology, mystery, phrophecy and just the right amount of humor. A GREAT novel by a first time author. I'll be waiting for the next book by Greg Cicio. In the meantime, I just might read "Seed Of The Dogwood Tree", one more time.
