Book Description
On assignment in the Middle East, television journalist Cotten Stone stumbles upon an archeological dig that uncovers the world's most-sought-after religious relic: the Holy Grail. With his last dying breath, Dr. Gabriel Archer gives it to Cotten, uttering "You are the only one" in a language she's heard from only one other person--her deceased twin sister. What begins as a hot news story for the ambitious young reporter soon turns into a nightmare when the Holy Grail is stolen and strange "accidents" befall her dearest friends. Running for her life, she turns to John Tyler, a priest with firsthand knowledge of religious artifacts, for help. An anonymous source leads them to New Orleans during Mardi Gras, where an abominable experiment is underway that--unless destroyed--promises to unleash an ancient evil upon the Earth.

 Do not compare this to the Da Vinci Code!!! May 25, 2008
I am so sick of everyone comparing every single book that has any religious plots with the Da Vinci code. Enough already. It's like identifying every single lawyer book with the Firm. One has nothing to do with the other. I loved!!! this book, and thankfully bought all 3 that have been published in the series. I read them one after the other and can't wait till the 4th one is out in October. I love Cotton Stone and can't wait to see what happens next. I just hope I won't have to wait so long for the 5th!!!!!
 Well written March 22, 2008

This book was well constructed and well written. However, I found the plot to be too much of a stretch for my 60 year old sense of reality, and rather predictable. I would recommend it more for a younger person, but it did provide some hours of escape reading. It is a well done work in this genre, but not the Da Vinci Code.
I enjoyed this Christian Fanstasy very much December 8, 2007

As both an author and reader of fiction, I was impressed with "Grail Conspiracy". Maybe it is because I have always enjoyed a book that could hold my attention and make me think at the same time. In a nutshell, the characters are believable and yet a little out of the ordinary and the story line interesting. Give this book a try.
I have also written a book about the cloning of Jesus, but my main story line is ten years in the life of a little girl who was "chosen by God" to be the next Madonna in the second coming of Christ.

This is not a DaVinci clone. December 5, 2007

This is not Da Vinci. It's not any less than Da Vinci either in it's plot and scope . I have become addicted to these historical/religious thrillers that have a central premise built around the Bible, Christ, the Holy Grail, Knights Templar, Virgin Mary, the possible bloodline of Jesus etc. In this particular novel, the central premise is that the Book of Revelation may be true and that the world could possibly see the second coming of Christ (another novel that also uses the Book of Revelation to great effect is The Rozabal Line). The book starts off in the Iraqi desert where a dying man hands over a box to a news reporter who then manages to smuggle it out of Iraq, authenticate it and then have the "holy grail" delivered to the Vatican only to see it stolen from there. This leads to a raging battle between the good and bad forces, while the dead bodies pile up around the central characters. Given the tremendous fan following of the Da Vinci Code, it is but obvious that several "clones" will flourish. This is not a clone. A great book that keeps you wanting to turn the pages.

This book was difficult to get into. It just didn't spark my interest. In fact, I put it down several times before I finally pushed forward, & finished it. It was one of those books that's premise sounds so good but fails to deliver. I kept thinking it would get better. Finally, about 2/3 of the way through the book, it did get a little better, and more interesting. I thought this has the promise of a great finale! But, sadly, I was let down. My final thoughts upon finishing the book, and putting it down were: 1. That was it?! 2. What a boring ending. 3. There were so many ways the ending could have been done better instead of just leaving you flat.
