Journal Entry 1 by MarJJa-nl from Den Haag, Zuid-Holland Netherlands on Wednesday, December 27, 2006
Description by Bol.com:
The elusive Crusader Gold: the greatest prize missing from the final bloody conflict of the Crusades. For many it is the Jewish menorah, the huge golden candlestick looted by the Romans in AD 70 when they sacked the Temple in Jerusalem and marched through Rome in triumph, then carried to Constantinople. Now, nobody knows where it is. Some think it survived and is concealed in the Vatican. Some think it took an altogether more extraordinary turn, at the beginning of history itself ...Jack Howard is the only man who can find out. But the clock is ticking against him. Will ancient history give up one of its darkest secrets? The quest to find out takes him from the fall of the Roman Empire to the last days of Nazi power - and uncovers a trail more thrilling than anyone could have imagined.
Description by me:
Fascinating! As with Atlantis Davis Gibbins has written another gripping yarn. I'm totally hooked, can't wait for a third one.
