Dr. Brown takes a bold direction in his first novel, by having the Vatican not take the role of the heroes, but rather the antagonists of the story. Dr. Brown has the courage to craft his story the way he envisioned it, rather than compromising the quality of his work by trying to appease religious groups. However the novel does not seek to make any particular religious viewpoints, it is an adventure story, and one that takes the reader along for a wild ride constantly trying to put the puzzle pieces in place. The situations the characters find themselves in and the strange twists that come about keep you on the edge of your seat. The realism that is conveyed in the novel makes you wonder what secrets are out there in the real world to be uncovered.
