Liv habÃa visto lo que ningún mortal deberÃa ver: el secreto guardado durante siglos en las mazmorras de La Ciudadela. Ahora, ella misma se ha convertido en la clave, la pieza que falta para encontrar el lugar más mÃtico que ha existido en la imaginación del hombre. En las arenas del desierto iraquà y en los oscuros despachos del Vaticano, muchos siguen los pasos de la joven norteamericana, dispuestos a todo para hacer realidad sus planes. This is the second book in a series, and I feel that I am missing something for not having read the first book before this one. It doesn't explicitly require it, but I did get the strong feeling a lot of it would have made more sense. This might also explain why, despite decent character development, I failed to invest emotionally. I was along for the ride, but I really didn't care too much about the outcome. Amazing sequel to Sanctus. I thought it was every bit as good as the first book. At the beginning I got a bit bogged down with all the new characters introduced and trying to remember who was who but I settled into the story easily after than and thoroughly enjoyed it. I am eager to begin the third installment 'The Tower'. After the events of 'Sanctus', Liv wakes up in hospital. She hears voices inside her head whispering in ancient tongues. An earthquake hits Ruin and the monks of the Citadel start falling prey to mysterious disease. Soon Liv in on the run with the Catholic Church chasing her as well as the Sancti. Reunited with Gabriel Mann Liv must travel to a remote part of Northern Iraq to fulfil her destiny and save the world. Written like that it sounds complete and utter hokum - which, to honest, The Key is. However a rapid pace and original thought make this series of books absolutely gripping and great, lightweight reading for a winter's afternoon. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML: Simon Toyne's breathtaking international bestseller, Sanctus, had critics everywhere cheering, calling the author the new Dan Brown (The Da Vinci Code) or Steve Berry (The Jefferson Key), while praising Toyne's debut thriller as "remarkable," "thrilling," "provocative," "haunting," and "spectacular." The adventure continues with The Key, returning readers to the dark world of a sinister religious order older than Christianity and their Vatican-like secret citadel high in the Turkish mountainsâ??as one courageous woman must fulfill an enigmatic prophecy that could determine the ultimate fate of humankind. James Rollins, Raymond Khoury, and Chris Kuzneski fans will not want to miss this one. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
