A document bearing the hand print of Christ is stolen. Another is discovered. Middle East peace talks at the Umayyad Mosque in Syria are attacked and CIA Officer Dr. Michael Sterling is caught in the middle. Along with the ambassadors of each nation in attendance, a Syrian agent is fatally wounded but, before dying, passes shocking intelligence to Michael - intelligence that outlines the planned assassinations of the Ayatollah of Iran and of the Pope and more: the intelligence outlines the history of an esoteric organization that traces their lineage to the truth of the Crucifixion – to Christ himself. Known only as the Order, their charter and goal throughout history has been to infiltrate governments with pawns of their own; to reclaim their right to rule.

To make matters worse, the Order has framed Michael for the Ayatollah's assassination and a Presidential backed, but botched CIA mission – codenamed Merlin – made Iran nuclear capable and they want revenge for the killing of their beloved leader. Iran has aimed its full nuclear arsenal at the United States and has issued an ultimatum: hand over Michael in forty-eight hours or it will be war – exactly as the Order had planned.

Attacked by his own agency, manipulated by the Order, and wanted by the Iranians, Dr. Michael Sterling carries the reader on a mesmerizing and fast-paced journey through Syria, the US, and Rome to stop the Pope's murder and to avert a manufactured war.

About the Author:

JS Nagle began his career in Intelligence as an Interrogator and was cross-trained in Counter Intelligence. A Paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division, JS Nagle spent many a night preparing to jump into the darkness with only a parachute strapped to his back and his weapon at his side. JS Nagle has received training at the prestigious Defense Language Institute for both the German and Spanish languages, and he holds an expert qualification with a number of weapons. In his private life, he has earned degrees in Economics and an MBA in Organizational Management; he spends his spare time training for Ironman triathlons, chasing his entirely too fast toddler-daughter; loving his brilliant, clinician wife whilst bragging incessantly about his son who is a cadet at an unnamed private University in Washington DC.

5,0 su 5 stelle An excellent debut

Dr. Michael Sterling isn't your run of the mill guy - he is living one life his wife thinks, but in reality, he is an operative for the government. He is called to 'Peace talks' in the Middle East and is caught in a gun fight of dramatic proportions. He is given a book that has a red hand print in vellum at the beginning of the book and is told to keep it safe.
In the meantime, the newly elected Pope has also found a similar book, and wonders what he is supposed to do about it.
In the meantime, there are a bunch of folks who believe the very fabric religion is weaved on is not true and nothing short of a world world war would have the survivors start anew.
It is Tom Clancy meets Dan Brown. Well written, albeit long on the tech stuff, airplanes that REALLY fly, etc., but it is an interesting take on the idea that Jesus wasn't crucified and died but went with Mary Magdeline and their family to France and had descendents, etc.
I had a copy that didn't have page numbers, but I understand that this has been corrected. It is always a comforting thing to have a reference - yes, a bookmark helps too!
It is a good read and will probably read the sequel, but this book will keep you busy with nonstop action and you can tell Joseph Nagle did his research.

5,0 su 5 stelle What is the truth?
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 10 ottobre 2012

"What is the truth, Michael? Who amongst us can truly say what it is? Our world is an angry and violent place; the truth about Christ, whatever it is, will not change that, but time will. People, however misguided they are, will evolve, and with their evolution, new truths learned and old lies will be cast aside. Have faith in humanity, Michael."

I think that the above is what really struck me about this book. Joseph Nagle has woven a web around this - what do we know to be true? We know that somehow Christianity has been based on maybe not so much lies as word of mouth. We also know that the world is full of fanatics. The author has combined both these elements to write a book that leaves more questions than answers and as the reader, you feel that you need to go out and discover the truth.

This is a brilliant story and I am looking forward to reading other books in the series. It was fast paced, intelligent and one could have empathy with the characters

4,0 su 5 stelle Good story but the writing could be better

I struggled with the rating for this book. I felt the story line was worth 4 stars (I don't ever do 5 stars), but the actual writing was only worth 3 stars.

I did not find the grammar and other writing errors that many others found, but I have a tendency to miss those as long as they don't interrupt my reading by causing me to have to stop and figure out what the author was trying to say.

The biggest complaint I have about this book is that the author often used words that were so uncommon or esoteric that caused me to have to stop and open the dictionary to determine what he was trying to say. I have a fairly large vocabulary (probably from all of the books I have read), and I don't expect an author to stick to short or 4 letter words, but using an uncommon or esoteric word when there is one that is more widely known and conveys the same meaning is counter-productive to keeping the reader involved in the story.

Another complaint is the verbose descriptions of places. This is not something that is specific to this author, as it seems to be a trend these days, but I still find it distracting and often it causes me to skip paragraphs to try to maintain the story rather than getting distracted by the description of the place. I understand wanting to get the feeling of an old building/area of town/etc. across to the reader in order to "set the mood" of the scene, but when the description takes so long that it distracts the reader, it is not useful, and again, interrupts the story.

The other issue for me was that the main character was almost flawless. He did everything perfectly and could do anything that was asked of him. Even in situations that should have caused him issue, he did not have very much trouble getting out of it. Even though the writer tried to make you believe that the character was not in control of a situation and was being made to do something against his will, I never really felt that the character was in trouble or was in jeopardy.

The part about his wife not knowing his occupation seemed to me to be very unbelievable. Unless the wife was a complete moron, she would have at least questioned his activities when he was gone all of the time, and when he came home with various injuries.

There were some technical details that were wrong, such as using the word "clip" instead of "magazine" for the part of the gun that contains the ammunition, but that is just one of those things that really annoys me, and most people would probably not know the difference or care.

Overall, I did enjoy the book, but it could have been better with a little more work and a more believable main character.

I'm an avid fan of this type of book and they're all much of a muchness usually, having said that as a debut of Dr Michael Sterling, I am now hooked! Don't be fooled though, it took me a while to get into, there are lots of technical descriptions and a lot of acronymns but if you stick with it you'll enjoy it. Fast paced and action packed, I was glad I'd downloaded the second one when I'd finished because I wanted more!
