For those of you that were in raptures after reading Dan Browns series - then this is the next step up Paul Sussman with 'The Last Secret of the Temple'.
Paul's two great passions have always been writing and archaeology. He fulfils the former by working as a freelance journalist and the latter by spending two months of each year excavating in Egypt. He is thirty-five and lives in London with his wife.
Its hard going but makes me think harder about the plight of the Palestinians and the need of the Israeli’s. This conflict as we so politely put it, is almost as old as time itself, the reason as to why this started has been lost and now it seems its just about power the oppressed become the oppressors and the world doesn’t really know what to do.
This book looks at both sides of the coin educational and hard going at times but underneath the geeky politics and emotions is a mystery I am yet to unfold. I have become familiar with the characters blood, sweat and tears of their every day lives, (mind you I should, I have tried to finish this book 3 times so I am not being parted from it now!)

Finally I have finished this gripping story! I know more about the power of faiths and what drives them, those that have tried to defile it and those that have given their lives as protectors. With every turn of the page history unfolds itself. Myth and adventures reunite the unexpected.
Now I need an easier read!
