Helpful Score: 1

Here's what a quote from the back of the book says. ". . .this rare breed of suspense thriller combines mysterious hidden clues, secret societies, buried treasure, double agents, and the Knights Templar. . . if you turned National Treasure into international treasure, traded Da Vinci codes for Gutenberg Bibles, married it to Indiana Jones, and added the pacing of 24 you'd be in the neighborhood of Illuminated. . . ."

I must agree. This book is a whirlwind of details and adventure. Some of the details were a little (OK, maybe a lot) more gory and gruesome than I care for. . . so I skipped over a few bits here and there. I give it a lower rating because of this. But the rest of it was non-stop action, and with the double agent aspect it was sometimes a bit hard to keep the plot-line straight. This book has conspiracy theories and secret codes hidden in plain sight, ancient organizations reforming again, and the "good guy" solving the riddle of a treasure to save his life.
