His best yet!

Loomis just gets better and better! Our friend Lang Reilly returns in this book with his keen intellect and biting wit. He is joined by his good friend Father Francis who provides ongoing reality checks for Lang. The story takes us on a fast track, globe hopping journey to places and possibilities that only a master story teller could dream of. Loomis' talent in combining the mysteries of antiquity with contemporary reality makes him one of the best authors in this genre. Loomis' recipe is filled with the factual ingredients of historic events, locations and todays scientific understanding which he combines to cook up excitement and intrigue that leaves us wondering if Lang is his alter ego. Highly recommended as a beach book for this season but you won't want to wait to get to the beach to read it.The Julian Secret

action-packed international thriller

The president of the United States is awakened in the middle of the night to meet with his top security advisors in the bunker because Iran fired nuclear missiles at Israel. However, as the missiles seemingly just vanish into thin air, the Israeli President calls his American counterpart to tell him not to worry and go back to sleep as he has no need to retaliate. The US president and his staff struggle with what happened. Meanwhile Dutch scientist Dr. Yadish is visiting Bruges, Belgium when he is murdered just before another scientist Dr. Lewis is killed in Atlanta. The two have in common research into alternatives to fossil fuel funded by a foundation run by Lang Reilly. Trying to understand what is going on, Lang flies charter to Amsterdam, but is cleverly abducted at the airport. He escapes even as his kidnappers try to kill him. He continues to investigate with clues taking him to Tel Aviv as he finds another link involving a biblical era parchment that has people willing to kill to hide what has been unearthed. The third Lang Reilly international thriller (see THE PEGASUS SECRET and THE JULIAN SECRET) is an action-packed tale that hooks readers from the moment the Americans realize the Israelis have some secret weapon that they imply comes from God. Although Reilly is too good at Houdini like escapes although they are exhilaratingly entertaining, readers will admire his dedication as he risks his life to uncover the truth and to prevent anymore of his grant scientists from being murdered. Thriller fans will appreciate Greg Loomis as it is no secret that he provides breathtaking novels. Harriet Klausner

One not to miss!

I picked up this book after finishing "Pegasus Secret" and "Gates of Hades", hoping to discover another thriller that would be just as entertaining and exciting as its predecessors. Well, that's exactly what I got with "Sinai Secret"! Not only does the story showcase the author's intellect, but it also takes you, with many twists and turns, on an action-packed ride. Like all of the other Loomis books, this is a book I would recommend to all.

Loomis does it again.

I will simply say that anyone who is a fan of Gregg Loomis, and there are many out there, this will not disappoint. This is quite possibly one of, if not, the best he has produced to date. If you are a fan of the whole "secret knowledge/lost wisdom/arcane knowledge tale" ala Dan Brown/Steve Berry/James Rollins/Matthew Reilly...then this book is definately up your alley...Gregg Loomis would fit right in there with these guys, and I highly recommend this and all of his books.
