The Genesis Secret is an interesting history of Moslem, Christianity and Judaism dating back to Gobekli Tepe and the Garden of Eden. In the process of explaining the Genesis secret, a lot of anti Jewish racism is imparted. In fact there is a lot of racism ranted in this book. Nevertheless, the story is good, and compelling. The story gives the reader a lot to think about with regard to the origins of religion and man's murderous instinct. Four stars were awarded to this book. ( )

Num recanto remoto do Curdistão turco, está uma das mais extraordinárias descobertas da humanidade; Gobekli Tepe, um santuário mais antigo do que Stonehenge e as pirâmides do Egito - e que aparenta ter sido enterrado propositalmente há 10 mil anos. Em vários pontos das ilhas britânicas, pessoas estão sendo mortas sem motivo aparente e com requintes inacreditáveis de crueldade. Técnicas milenares de tortura, que remetem a antigos sacrifícios humanos e pareciam estar relegadas às páginas dos livros de História, ressurgem e abrem uma trilha de horror em pleno século XXI.

Num recanto remoto do Curdistão turco, está uma das mais extraordinárias descobertas da humanidade: Gobekli Tepe, um santuário mais antigo do que Stonehenge e as pirâmides do Egito - e que aparenta ter sido enterrado propositalmente há 10 mil anos. Por quê? Ninguém sabe. Em vários pontos das ilhas britânicas, pessoas estão sendo mortas sem motivo aparente e com requintes inacreditáveis de crueldade. Técnicas milenares de tortura, que remetem a antigos sacrifícios humanos e pareciam estar relegadas às páginas dos livros de história, ressurgem e abrem uma trilha de horror em pleno século XXI. A razão que motiva toda essa barbárie é um mistério, cuja chave pode estar guardada na imensidão rochosa de Gobekli Tepe. Rob Luttrell é um correspondente de guerra que acaba de passar por uma experiência traumatizante em Bagdá. Tudo o que ele quer é voltar à Inglaterra para estar com sua filha. Até que surge no seu caminho Gobekli Tepe, onde uma reportagem imperdível o espera. Lá, os arqueólogos Franz Breitner e Christine Meyer acreditam estar na pista de um dos maiores mistérios da humanidade. O inspetor Forrester, da Scotland Yard, pensava que já tivesse visto de tudo depois de tantos anos na polícia. Mas a série de assassinatos que investiga, de Londres à Ilha de Man, põe toda a sua experiência em xeque. Obra de uma mente brilhante, sofisticada e incrivelmente cruel, os crimes chocam pela crueldade, mas também pela falta de propósito. As vítimas parecem ter morrido apenas por estar no caminho do assassino, cuja meta real é encontrar alguma coisa. Alguma coisa que pode estar escondida há milênios. Em O segredo do Gênesis, os caminhos desses personagens se encontrarão na busca pela solução do enigma que, por uma boa razão, ficou guardado por muitos séculos. Talvez sua resolução lance dúvidas sobre tudo o que o mundo acreditava saber sobre as origens do judaísmo, do cristianismo e do islamismo.

An archeological dig at Gobekli Tepe in Turkish Kurdistan reveals evidence of a building which may be 5,000 years older than any previous known structure. The dig also reveals evidence suggesting that the site may also be the location of Eden. Yet, underlying these finds is a seeming antagonism or hatred against the scientists by the locals working on the dig and living in the area. All of this makes for a strong hook into an intriguing storyline. To cap the efforts of the scientists, the lead archeologist is found impaled at the site.

Unfortunately, Tom Knox, the pseudonym for Sean Thomas, a London-based journalist (like his central character, Rob Luttrell) goes off on a tangent by introducing a series of brutal murders in the British Isles. The murders appear to be the work of psychopathic killers. Ultimately, they are connected to a group of privileged Upper-Class college students, linked to a society of the social elite known as the Hellfire Club. This club has a centuries-old history of decadence, depravity and debauchery. Its membership included leaders of society in England and America.

In his efforts to blend these two story lines, Knox strains credulity. Its seems that, despite their history of brutish and brutal behavior, the members of the Hellfire Club may only be acting that way because the leaders may possess a certain genetic strain which results in their behavior.

The book is well written, and although there were murders, the first couple of them were violent but bearable. I read primarily murder mysteries and usually they don't bother me, but after the first few,they became increasing violent. Though the murder "sacrifices" may have been based on actual historical accounts of early human cultures, there were just too many and most were unnecessary as the author had established a story line that would have worked beautifully.
