a good read Jul 24, 2007

"reviewer"
"The First Seal" hooked me from the first page. As we all know, I'm a historical fiction fanatic, and this novel did not disappoint. From what I've read in other reviews that of this book, the historical facts contained in the story are being called into question; accurate or not, the story itself is engaging and compelling and I personally couldn't put it down.
The story is a combination of narratives; one stemming from the present time, and one from the 1500's. The two weave back and forth in a way that is easy to follow and an effective way of advancing the plot line. In the present day story we learn of a mysterious archealogical find, a stone tablet discovered in New Mexico, where it by all rights, should NOT be. Murder and mayhem ensue, as all parties involved in the story have different reasons for wanting to get their hands on the tablet.
Mixed in we also have the story set in the 1500's, of how the tablet came to be in New Mexico. The author weaved these two stories together in a very satisfying way... In the present day we are uncovering the tablet, while simultaneously in the past, we are fighting to bury it. From here we come to the ultimate showdown ending, which leaves me hopeful for a sequel...
If you're looking for a great story to get lost in, I think I've found it for you...you won't regret it.

 Great Book Mar 14, 2007
By E. Brooks
It was hard to put this book down once I started. The flash backs and historical references, added a lot to the story without slowing the pace. It is refreshing to read an exciting story that is based somewhere other than New York, LA, or Washinton DC, and this book made me want to visit Colorado and New Mexico.

Great Book Jan 02, 2007

"avid reader"
This is a great thriller that I could not put down. The story kept moving as well as the vivid descriptions of the area where the story takes place. After reading the first chapters online I thought I had the ending figured out but was happily mistaken when I got to it in the book. If you want a great read that has some of the DaVinci Code secrecy along with action, this is what you are looking for.

A fun romp in southwest Jan 01, 2007
By ABQ Reader
I've been to a number of the settings in the story, and was entranced with
the way they were woven into the story. A truly great read. Get this,
and buy a copy for a friend -- they'll thank you.

Could not put the book down!! Apr 28, 2007
By G. Kalina
There are enough well written characters to fill three different novels. The authors research of prior time and locales is evident in the story line and characters. Here's hoping the sequel is soon to be available.A must read for all.
