This was originally written as a screenplay, and it reads like it. I did my usual reading of the beginning and the ending, it's readable, certainly better than James Rollins, but pretty putdownable (even reputdownable, when you try to start it again). Hits the right elements of ruthless Moslems (albeit 800 years ago - what were they doing in our Holy Land, anyway?) (However, the escape from the Middle East has echoes of the author's own escape when he was in his 20s) and of effete, naïve New York artistes.
