About the book…
In this thrilling adventure, archaeologist Nicole Berman is about to discover the key to unifying three major religions—if a dangerous enemy doesn’t stop her first.
Archaeologist Nicole Berman is the first woman to be awarded a permit to lead a dig in Saudi Arabia. Nicole believes what she hopes to discover has the power to to rewrite world history. She assembles a team that will ultimately surprise – and in some cases – betray her.
In a parallel storyline, readers are launched back to ancient Ur where young Abram is sent to learn from his forebears, who tell him firsthand stories of being on the ark during the Great Flood.
My review…
This is the conclusion of a duology. As a result, it is helpful to read the books in order, as this one picks up where the first book ended. Dr. Nicole wasn’t as strong of a character as I would’ve expected or liked. Also, she seems a bit unsure of the importance of her mission (and the meaning behind the dig). There were some lulls in the story, created by information that seemed a bit unnecessary. There were a couple unexpected twists. Some parts of the story felt a bit preachy.
While both timelines were well done, I preferred the biblical one a bit more. I enjoyed Terah’s wife more than I liked him. There was more closure with the biblical timeline, as well, and I enjoyed reading a bit more about familiar figures from the Bible. I haven’t read any books with a similar premise (modern-day archeologist combined with the biblical story of Abraham).Disclaimer: I received a complimentary copy, but I wasn’t required to leave a positive review.
