Humanity’s most ancient secret is about to be revealed…

In the sunburned deserts of eastern Turkey, archaeologists are unearthing a stone temple, the world’s most ancient building.  When journalist Rob Luttrell is sent to report on the dig, he is intrigued to learn that someone deliberately buried the site 10,000 years ago, Why?

Only one man knows the secret – a secret so shocking it may threaten the social structure of the world – and he is intent on destroying the evidence before it can be recovered.

Spanning the globe from the ruined castles of Ireland to the desolate wastes of Kurdistan, Tom Knox’s intense and compelling thriller weaves together genuine historical evidence, scientific insights and Biblical mysteries into an electrifying tale that grips the reader mercilessly from beginning to end.

Review:

The book is an adventure story in the style of Indiana Jones, which cleverly intertwines two plots.  One thread being based in Turkey around the site of the archaeological dig in Gobekly Tepe and the other thread starts off in the UK.  The story covers secret cults/societies, live sacrifices and the different religions that were followed around the Gobekly Tepe region, but above all it is a murder mystery.

The book has many twists and turns, just when you think you have figured it out and are one step ahead of the author, you realise you weren’t because the story reveals something quite different to what you were expecting.

I loved the historical background to the book and it worked well as a mystery story, definately a page turner for me.  So what was the Genesis Secret? For that you will have to read the book

For details on the archaeological dig that inspired the novel, please see my previous post.
