We’re presented with three novels for the price of one, which is a pretty good deal. Book one, The Shroud Key, is an exciting action/adventure/thriller in the same vein as Indiana Jones. In this first volume our imaginations are stimulated with the likes of the Great Pyramids of Egypt, the Shroud of Turin, and the presumption that the bones of Jesus Christ are buried within the Giza Plateau. Chase Baker; The Renaissance Man, writer, sandhog, private detective, and prolific womanizer is initially hired to find his friend and archeologist Andre Manion. The plot quickly escalates into the hunt for the final resting place of Jesus Christ. The story is quite interesting with plenty of action and adventure.
Book two; The Golden Condor, in this venture Chase is searching for the existence of an artifact that will “turn the world upside down and challenge the foundations of western civilization and its religion.” This is an exciting tale focusing on the possibility of alien visitation in our distant past. This topic has been covered many times referencing cave drawings, carvings, and crop circles which can only be identified from high altitude. Chase brings his unique archeology/detective perspective to the subject creating another action packed adventure.
Book three; The God Boy, although the God Boy is my least favorite of the three it is still a fun and entertaining read with plenty of action. The religious theme carries through in this story as in the previous two, although it focuses on the Hindu beliefs this time around. This tale is more of a search for a missing boy with the author’s usual twists and turns. The narrator, Andrew Wehrlen, did a fine job in each of the stories.
