I was very impressed! Though this work of fiction is based on a legend that has its roots in the deepest, darkest part of the dark ages, the historical questions raised are as significant as those attributed to Dan Brown's 'DaVinci Code'. I know this story has been around a while--It was also made a movie...twice--but I would still recommend it to those who, as I was, are unaware of this historical singularity.
