"Divine Blood" presents a tenant which is interesting and original. Although it mirrors, to some extent, the Dan Brown style stories regarding the Catholic Church, this book takes everything a step further.
Unfortunately, it is quickly apparent that this is Martinez Hewlett's first book and that he is a product of academia. The writing is a bit dry with some sections reading a bit like a college textbook.
The characters could be better developed and the action is non-existent. This story has so much potential which is not embraced. It should have been an exciting 600 page book.
Nevertheless, Mr. Hewlett has produced a book well worth the read. It will make you think about the ever expanding use of technology in both archeology and religion.
