Features: Combines the religious history and eternal mysteries of The Da Vinci Code with Tom Cruise-style cutting-edge technology and extreme adventures. Once you pick it up, you won’t be able to put it down. —Jack Du Brul, renowned American best-selling author. The history in the book is captivating, and the use of high technology adds to its brilliance. The tense plot, logical and meticulous reasoning—everything keeps readers on the edge of their seats. However, the clumsy love story of the protagonist slightly lacks color. Dan Brown fans hungry for more can definitely find a new world in Rollins’ book. —Publishers Weekly Rollins’ work is well-structured, full of wisdom, and possesses a rare refreshing humor. —Cox Review Ancient mysterious societies, invaluable legendary treasures—this book is undoubtedly a match for Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code. In fact, from any perspective, it far surpasses the latter. Watching Dan Brown, though his hypotheses are astonishing, you can guess the ending from the beginning. This story, however, is more tightly structured, full of suspense. Dan Brown’s dialogue is clichéd, his characters mechanical, while the characters in this book are very lifelike, and the language is extremely vivid. Like Dan Brown, Rollins also creates an unbelievable hypothesis that requires readers to accept the truth contained in the allegorical side of the Bible. It’s clear that fans of The Da Vinci Code will also be willing to read The Bone Map, but those who dislike Dan Brown’s works will also enjoy the feast The Bone Map offers. —American Library Association, Booklist Germany, Cologne Cathedral, Epiphany Mass. On the night of the Epiphany, a group of armed thugs suddenly burst into the cathedral. They opened the golden coffin storing the relics of the Three Kings, and the church’s electrical waves surged. All the congregation who had consumed the holy bread died in a mysterious manner. The Vatican Roman Curia sent a special envoy to investigate, and the special forces Sigma were assigned the mission. They engaged in a life-and-death struggle with a mysterious and ancient religious society—the Dragon Court. The journey to trace the Holy Bones is fraught with traps—the fire in Vatican City, the flood in Alexandria, Egypt. A platinum map is discovered in the tomb of St. Peter, and the world wonders along the Mediterranean coast form a time hourglass. The Holy Bones are not bones, and gold is not gold. The mysterious white powder opens the door to reconstructing the world, but what secrets are hidden behind the entanglement of the ancient sect? The treasure of King Solomon is reborn in the hands of the Knights Templar. "Because it is above, it is also below." From this world to the next. Everything is a mirror.
