Legacy Of The Sphinx (Connor Tremayne Series, #1) (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

The background to "Legacy Of The Sphinx" is an ancient mystery - perhaps one of the greatest mysteries of them all: what happened to Ark of the Covenant after the reign of Solomon, a thousand years before Christ? It is however, a lot more than just another biblical mystery, taking into account some of the latest cuting edge developments in the physical sciences; and including the forbidden love between a disillusioned, former Jesuit priest and a young girl who was transferred into a Carmlelite institution as a novice at the the tender age of just 15 years.

The involvement of both the Vatican and the "Knights Templar" in the fictional events leading to the remnants of the Ark being buried in modern-day Cornwall, lends factual historical interest to the story -- as does the the age-old controversy surrounding the identity of Moses; and the contents and capabilities of the Ark itself.

His first, full-length non-fiction book: "The British Pub Guide", sold well throughout the United Kingdom. His first novel, "Legacy of the Sphinx", attracted much attention due to the basis of its plot: the age-old mystery surrounding Moses, the Ark of the Covenant and its disappearance shortly after the reign of Solomon at the turn of the first Century BC.
